10.1  UTILITY SOFTWARE 

 

LabVIEW-based utility software is included at no extra cost with all MS260i models to control both 
the  spectrograph  gratings  and  optional  motorized  filter  wheel.  The  MonoTerm  software  provided 
with the spectrograph includes USB drivers for Windows 7 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems. The 
software can also control the instrument through an RS232 or GPIB connection. 
 
Please refer to the Quick Start Guide provided with the spectrograph for instructions on installation 
and use.
