Zoom features
Zoom in:
select a region to be expanded to the full graph. To select this region, click the left mouse
button in the white graphical region and drag it downwards and to the right. After releasing the left
mouse button within the graphic display, both the X- and Y-axis will be rescaled to the new values of
the selected region.
Zoom out:
drag with the left mouse button within the white rectangle, but in stead of dragging the
mouse downwards and to the right, drag it into another direction. After releasing the mouse button,
both the X- and Y-axis will be reset to their default values.
Move X-Y:
dragging with the right mouse button results in moving the complete spectrum up or
down and to the left or right.
Move-Y:
if a mouse-wheel is available on the mouse being used, then the spectrum can be moved up
or down by moving the mouse wheel.
Status bar
USB1
For each selected spectrometer channel, a statusbar at the bottom of the main window shows
information about the file to which the data will be saved, amplitude at current wavelength, and
the current settings for the smoothing and spline parameters. The field at the right of the Spline
setting is used to indicate that the spectrometer is receiving too much light at a certain wavelength
range (=16383 counts before correcting for dynamic dark, smoothing or averaging), in which case the
label “saturated” will become visible.
USB2
For each selected spectrometer channel, a statusbar at the bottom of the main window shows the
name label of the connected spectrometer channel, the file to which the data will be saved,
amplitude at current wavelength, the current settings for the smoothing and spline parameters, the
line color and style in the graphical display, the real integration time and averages per channel and
final the number of scans taken since the start button was clicked. The field at the right is used to
indicate that the spectrometer is receiving too much light at a certain wavelength range (=16383
counts for 14bit ADC, 65535 counts for 16bit ADC, before correcting for dynamic dark, smoothing or
averaging), in which case the label “saturated” will become visible.
