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

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.

Mounting Device

Secure to Tripod • Remove quick release head from tripod • Insert only into bottom hole on device • Do not over tighten; only use fingers • Check tripod tight-points before trusting

Battery and Power Indicators Back of Device Power Battery Port Battery Port Shore Power Port Serial Port

FOV Device

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

Insert Battery and Turn On

Review • Don’t 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!!

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 • Don’t 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.

Set the Foreoptic First

Set the Integration Time

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

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

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

• Always open Spectrum save before the first save • In this window set file name and other save settings • Control > Spectrum Save • Spacebar will save spectra

This information is encoded in every saved spectrum Amount / Frequency of save Save Location Save Name/Start Number Comments

Good Luck
