4 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS SOFTWARE
4.1 Requirements
•
PC with Windows 7 (or higher) operating system
•
One free USB port
4.2 Software Installation
Install the iQ-LED control software before connecting the hardware. Follow the set-up instructions from the iQ-
LED control software quick start guide or manual.
4.3 Starting the System
Start the iQ-LED software by clicking the 'iQ-LED.exe' or the iQ-LED icon on your desktop. Follow the iQ-LED
software manual to control your LE7.
NOTE
The IQ-LED devices can operate at high precision only when the setup and calibration are performed
correctly. Consult the iQ-LED software manual for a comprehensive description and read it carefully.
4.3.1 Spectrometer settings
The iQ-LED software (see iQ-LED software manual) automatically generates the optimal spectrometer settings for
your
lighting conditions after pressing the “auto-detect” button. For special applications, it is also possible to set
the spectrometer settings manually. If you have further questions, please contact the Image Engineering support
team.
4.3.2 Spectrometer calibration
Your spectrometer comes fully NIST traceable calibrated. We recommend recalibrating the spectrometer yearly,
regardless of the operating hours. If a spectrometer calibration is required, please contact Image Engineering.
Note: Before removing the spectrometer, measure and note the lux value of a predefined standard illuminant.
4.3.3 iQ-LED calibration
The individual LED lights of the iQ-LEDs inside the LE7 depend on many different types and wavelengths. Some
LEDs will change their intensity level and peak wavelength slightly in the first 500-600 working hours because of
a burn-in effect.
