Product overviewThe mini-spectrometer C16449MA-02 (WS series) is a compact thin polychromator integrating optical elements, a high-sensitivity CMOS linear image sensor and driver electronics in a single enclosure. Measurement light is introduced via an optical fiber and spectral data are transferred to a PC via USB. The instrument includes evaluation software for configuring measurement conditions, acquiring and saving data and plotting spectra. DLL specifications are provided for custom software development. A trigger function enables short integration times for pulsed-emission spectroscopy.
