2.7 Application Software
Teledyne Princeton Instruments offers the following two data acquisition software
packages for use with NIRvana HS camera systems:
• LightField
®
LightField is Teledyne Princeton Instruments’ 64-bit Windows compatible data
acquisition and processing software package.
LightField combines complete control over Teledyne Princeton Instruments’
cameras and spectrometers with easy-to-use tools for experimental setup, data
acquisition and post-processing. LightField makes data integrity priority #1 via
automatic saving to disk, time stamping, and retention of both raw and
corrected data with full experimental details saved in each file. LightField works
seamlessly in multi-user facilities, remembering each user’s hardware and
software configurations and tailoring options and features accordingly. The
optional, patent-pending IntelliCal™ package is the highest-performance
wavelength calibration software available, providing up to 10X greater accuracy
across the entire focal plane than competing routines.
• PICam
PICam is Teledyne Princeton Instruments’ standard 64-bit software interface
for cooled cameras. PICam is an ANSI C library of camera control and data
acquisition functions.
Refer to the PICam Programmer’s Manual for supported operating systems.
NOTE:
NIRvana HS may be compatible with third-party data
acquisition software packages. Check with individual
providers for compatibility and support information.

damage. If there are any, notify Teledyne Princeton Instruments immediately and file a
