All-in-one package: Spectrometer, software, driver, and updates are all included
The new Qwave Spectrometer is hardly bigger than a cigarette pack, and yet takes measurements with high resolution and sensitivity. The thermal stability of this versatile spectrometer is outstanding as well. The Qwave comes with intuitive software that is unique worldwide for its unrivalled performance, for complete control and monitoring through your computer. With its 75 mm focal length, the Qwave attains a level of accuracy normally seen only in much larger spectrometers. The Qwave Spectrometer is controlled using the “Waves" program, which features state-of-the-art algorithms for measurement and analysis – and makes it extremely easy to use.
Many of the features are available with a single mouse-click. With Qwave, the dark spectra for optimum sensitivity no longer have to be recorded anew every time the exposure time is changed. A number of automatically recorded dark spectra are stored as calibration values and interpolated. In conjunction with the automatic lighting control, calibration of the wavelengths, and impressive spectral sensitivity, a single click is all that is needed to record a spectrum with the highest possible accuracy –ideal for displaying and comparing several spectra. A strip chart function is provided as well, for graphic display of a variety of characteristics of the recorded spectra. This is a useful tool for analyzing transients, for example.
I/O Port
The Qwave includes 4 I/O channels that can be configured as trigger input, shutter and light source control or general purpose I/O pins. The optional I/O adapter provides easy access via a screw terminal block.
