Page 7: What Is In The Box
7. Prerequisites • Your SpectroLink™ along with its box contents. • A currently supported spectrophotometer with USB connectivity. • Check yours at https://spectrolink.cphnano.com/ supported-spectrophoto meters - We also have a guide for setting good parameters before measurements for each supported spectrophotometer (more on this later). -
Page 8: App For Setting Up Wifi On Spectrolink
To set up WiFi, an app needs to be installed on an Android or iOS based device. Get it here or via the QR code below: https://spectrolink.cphnano.com/setup The WiFi setup is as follows: Install the WiFi connect tool, BerryLan, on an Android or iOS based device from the Google Play or App Store. -

9.4. Network discovery For certain use cases you may want your SpectroLink™ to be visible for all SpectroWorks™ users on the same network. They can in this case see and access the SpectroLink™ without registering its device code. Assuming you are on a secure network you can enable “Network discovery” from the Properties screen in the SpectroLink™... -

10.2. Basic measurement 1. Go to the “Create” tab located in the top left. 2. Get hold of a basic cuvette or just use any NanoCuvette™ for testing. This example uses a NanoCuvette™ One. 3. Use a sample of your choice and place the cuvette in the clear path (whe re the light path does not go through the crystal) in your spectrophotome ter. - Page 20 6. Your SpectroLink™ will now communicate with your Spectrophotometer to ask for a spectrum, your instrument performs the measurement and du ring the measurement the canvas will get plotted with the attenuance spectrum. 7. Once the capture has completed, proceed by clicking “Finish” in the bottom right corner.
