C12MD C13MD For UV to near IR, integrating optical system, and circuit mini-spectrometers are polychromators integrated with optical elements, an and a driver circuit. Two models are available: C12MD (TM-UV/VIS-MOS) and C13MD (TM-VIS/NIR-MOS). 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 from the USB port to a PC for data acquisition. No external power supply is required since USB bus power is used for circuit operation. 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 High throughput due to transmission grating made of quartz Highly accurate optical characteristics No external power supply required: uses USB bus power Wide spectral response range Easy to install into equipment Wavelength conversion factor* 1 is recorded in internal memory.

C12MD, C13MD 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.

The external trigger input function works with DLL, but does not function on the supplied evaluation software. If using an external trigger input, the user software must be configured to support that function. *9: Compatible OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Professional SP1 (32-bit, 4-bit) Microsoft Windows Professional (32-bit, 4-bit) Microsoft Windows 1 Professional (32-bit, 4-bit) DLL for controlling hardware is also provided.
