Specification 

FLAME-S 

FLAME-T 

Physical Dimensions 

88.9 mm x 63.5 mm x 31.9 mm 

Weight 

265 g 

Environmental 

Temperature: 

   Storage 
   Operation 

 
-30

 to +70

 C  

0 to 50

 C  

Humidity 

0% - 90% noncondensing 

Dynamic range for a single acquisition is a measure of the ratio of full signal to noise.

 

Dynamic range of the system is the range of the detectable light level and can be thought of as the maximum detectable light level at 

the minimum integration time divided by the minimum detectable light level at the maximum integration time.

 

Scan rate is dependent on the operating computer and not the spectrometer. These figures assume a non real-time operating system.
