Microsoft Office, image processing programs, and other software applications
generally do not interfere with ASD programs, particularly if they are not
running and competing for CPU cycles and RAM at the same time that data is
being collected from the TerraSpec spectrometer.
B.1.20 Why does the software seem to do unexpected things?
To assure accuracy in the collection and processing of data, the ASD
application software is designed to finish its current operation before moving
on. The TerraSpec spectrometer outputs a lot of data at a high rate of speed for
the ASD application software to collect.
In addition, the ASD application software will stack up your keystroke entries
and execute them later in the order they were received.
It is important that you wait for the collection to finish before entering the
commands to launch another operation. Don’t rush into new operations or into
issuing new commands until you see the results of the current command.
B.1.21 How long does it take for the TerraSpec spectrometer to
warm up?
The warm-up time of the instrument depends on the environment in which it
is used.
Only 15 minutes is needed for reflectance measurements, particularly if
conserving battery life is desirable.
B.1.22 Where is my serial number?
The serial number is a five (5) digit number located on a label on the rear of
the TerraSpec spectrometer where the power switch is. The label also contains
the model number and MAC address for the spectrometer.
