Disconnect From COM Port:
Click to release the COM port, in order to allow another program to access it.
SpectralLED Assistant will re-connect to the RS-7 automatically whenever you perform any operation that
requires SpectralLED Assistant to communicate with the unit.

Tristimulus is 2
°
Standard Observer
Tristimulus is 10
°
Standard Observer
Selects the tristimulus color-matching functions to be either the CIE 1931 2° Standard Observer, or the CIE 1964
10° Standard Observer.

SI Photometric Units (lm/m², cd/m²)
US Photometric Units (fc, fL)
Selects between SI photometric units of
lm/m² (illuminance units of lumens per square meter, also known as
lux
)
cd/m² (luminance units of candela per square meter, also known as
nits
)
and US photometric units of
footcandles (illuminance units)
footLamberts (luminance units)

Peak Type
The wavelength of each of the RS-7’s channels, as seen for example when one hovers the mouse pointer over
one of the Individual Channel Power Level controls (
1c
), or as generated by the Export Channel List function (see
Section 3.4), can be calculated in one of three ways:
Centroid
, which is the amplitude-weighted average of all wavelengths of the spectrum.
Peak
, which represents the peak (where 1
st
derivative = 0) of the parabola defined by the highest-amplitude
spectral data point and its two immediate neighbors:
