3.1 Introduction
Waves was designed from the ground up to provide a clean and straightforward user
interface that does not stand in your way, without compromising advanced features or
precision.
If you are new to spectroscopy, you’ll find it easy to start using the software and taking
spectra without having to worry about details like calibration or dark spectra.
If you already have experience with other spectroscopy software, you’ll notice a few
differences:
o There is just one mode of operation that includes all relevant types of
measurements (absorption, irradiance, scope and so on) through a consistent and
clear interface.
o Waves favors a simple self-explanatory terminology instead of complicated terms
that need to be explained. For example, we use ‘‘Exposure time’’ instead of
‘‘Integration time’’, because the average user doesn’t really know what’s being
integrated here.
o There are no wizards to help you with complicated tasks, because wizards tend to
conceal the actual task. We believe it’s better to make these tasks accessible
through a clear and unified interface, so that you can understand what’s going on.
