6) Operating Software BWSpec Quick Start Guide
Getting to know BWSpec Graphic User Interface
The BWSpec operating software has a graphic user interface
which consists of a menu bar, quick access bar, graphic area,
message bar and control panel.
Reference the BWSpec User Manual located on your Software
USB drive for more information on how the software works.
Quick Start
1. Open BWSpec from the shortcut icon that will have been placed on your desktop after
installation.
2. From the toolbar, select “Acquire Continuously”
3. Point the spectrometer’s SMA Port (Light Input) towards a broadband light source; for
example a tungsten bulb, light bulb, or overhead lights.
4. You should see a spectral response being displayed on the Graph in the BWSpec software
window. Spectral response will vary from unit to unit and source to source.
*Note*
There are different ways in which light can be directed into the spectrometer’s SMA Port
and different light sources which can be used.
For more information on these types of setups, please see our website:
