Trigger function included The is a polychromator integrated with optical elements, an and a driver circuit. Light to be measured is guided into the entrance port of through an optical fiber and the spectrum measured with the built-in image sensor is output from the USB port to a PC for data acquisition. The is a mini-spectrometer with a newly developed CMOS with amp array mounted on the optical system platform of the previous type C13MD. The trigger function accepts even short-time integration so emission spectra from pulsed light can be measured. The readout time is drastically reduced, making the ideal for LED test on industrial productions lines. The comes supplied with free evaluation software that allows setting measurement conditions, acquiring and saving data, and displaying graphs. Original measurement software can be designed on an end-user s side as DLL s function specification is disclosed. Features Trigger function included High-speed readout (2 ms approx.)

The difference between the ideal value and typical example contains a measurement error. The smaller the A/D output, the larger the measurement error. A/D output is the sum of the sensor and circuit offset outputs and the sensor dark output. Optical component layout mini-spectrometers use a transmission holographic grating made of quartz and precision optical components arranged on a rugged optical base, making it possible to deliver high throughput and highly accurate optical characteristics.

Connection example (transmission light measurement) Light to be measured is guided into the entrance port of through an optical fiber and the spectrum measured with the built-in is output through the USB port to a PC for data acquisition. There are no moving parts inside the unit so stable measurements are obtained at all times. An optical fiber that guides light input from external sources allows a flexible measurement setup.

These operation modes can be selected on the evaluation software that comes with the. (1) Data measurement at software trigger input (asynchronous) (2) Data measurement at software trigger input (synchronous) This mode acquires digital data that is first converted after a software trigger input from a PC.
