Software
The Vernier Flash Photolysis Spectrometer comes with data-acquisition software necessary to
collect the signal waveform from the photodetector. Subsequent data processing, such as conversion of
the acquired voltage waveform into temporal profile of
∆
A
and fitting the
∆
A
profile to an appropriate
function in order to extract the rate constants, can be done by exporting the data into Vernier Logger
Pro
software or Microsoft
®
Excel
®
.
Data Format
The Vernier Flash Photolysis Spectrometer produces
∆
A
vs
. time data in a form of an ASCII CSV
file that can be easily processed with Logger
Pro
.
