Setup Menu
Setup Menu: Hardware
USB1 platform
This menu option displays a list of AvaSpec serial numbers that are connected to the PC‟s USB
port(s) and COM port(s) and which are not used by another (instance of the) application. This option
can be used to allocate a spectrometer to an application (for example if one spectrometer is running
with AvaSoft-Basic and another spectrometer needs to run with AvaSoft-Raman software). But it can
also be used to run multiple spectrometers simultaneously, just by restarting AvaSoft multiple times.
After clicking the OK button, AvaSoft will communicate with the spectrometer serial number that
has been activated in the dialog.
USB2 platform
This option shows all connected spectrometers and allows you to change the name of the channel
and to deactivate and activate spectrometers. For synchronization of scans a master sync
spectrometer needs to be dedicated, in Multichannel platforms usually the spectrometer from the
left as seen from the front is prededicated as master sync by Avantes.
