Device Specifications

• Range 325-1075 nanometers
• 512 channel silicon photodiode array overlaid
  with an order separation filter
• Each channel will receive light in a 1.6
  nanometer nominal band
• Spectral resolution of approximately three
  nanometers at 700 nanometers

4
Optics

• Light is collected through fiber optic head
  called a bare head
• The bare head has a field of view (FOV) of 25
  degrees. Foreoptics may be added to restrict this
  FOV.
• 10 and 1 degree FOV restricting foreoptics are
  included.

FOV Limiting Foreoptics

• Place threaded end on bare head
• Do not over tighten
• Use extreme care
• Threads are located on end with label

Review

• Dont over tighten anything
• 1.) connect cables and FOV limiting foreoptics
• 2.) add battery and turn on by holding down power
• 3.) now you are ready to attach to the computer!!

17
IMPORTANT

• Do not plug the GPS into the serial port until
  you have turned on the computer. If the computer
  freezes you may need to turn off the ballpoint
  mouse in the device manager
• Dont let the spectroradiometer get too hot! If
  the spectra looks odd and it is hot out, first do
  a DC. If this will not help you will need to let
  it cool down.

Integration Time

• Adjust to improve signal strength
• Avoid saturation (right), that will appear as
  off-graph and be displayed in red above sample
  status bar

29
CDA

• Configurable Default Averaging will help to
  reduce noise
• Higher number will take more time, but improve
  quality of signal
• Control gt Adjust Configuration

10 is default, but no less than 20 should be
used.
