Page 5: General Description
ENERAL ESCRIPTION SpectraPen SP 110 is a handheld portable spectroradiometer that is ideal as a general-purpose instrument for research and for agricultural applications. SpectraPen is especially useful for rapid measurements of solar irradiance and monitoring of spectral light quality. External light source and sample holder enable to use SpectraPen also for measurements of absorption, reflectance, transmittance, emission, color and fluorescence of various samples. -

Page 9: Device Operating Instruction
EVICE OPERATING INSTRUCTION Switch on the device by pressing the Power button and follow next steps to perform the measurements. In case the device battery is not charged connect the SpectraPen to the PC or to USB adaptor (not included) via the USB cable and charge the battery. Main display (Fig. - Page 10 Device (Fig. 4) • Preview – if checked, spectrophotometer continuously measures and displays current data, data is stored only after Get Spectrum button is pressed. • High Gain – if checked, high sensitivity mode is enabled. • Auto Sensitivity – if checked, integration time and gain is set automatically to reach optimal signal/noise ratio.

- Page 13 • Device (Fig. 10) GPS – activates the GPS built-in module. The GPS coordinates cannot be displayed on the device display, but they are exported together with data and visualized in SpectraPen software on the computer after download. Average –Average function is used for adjusting the number of scans for each reading. Averaging of more scans results in a higher signal-to-noise ratio but increases the time required for each reading that appears on the screen.
