6.4.2 Spectrum Acquisition
The detector chip provided in your Redback Systems spectrometer may have higher
sensitivity than other comparable spectrometers. For this reason, to avoid saturation of
the detector we recommend starting your measurements with shorter exposure times,
and incrementing the exposure time as required. The dashed line in the overview plot
shows the maximum intensity before saturation. Breaching the exposure limit can
cause light bleeding into adjacent orders which generates false signals in the spectrum.
Please stay below the limit in your region of interest to avoid distorted data.
NOTE: Stay below the saturation limit in your region of interest to avoid distorted data
and artificially created peaks from light bleeding into adjacent orders.
6.4.3 Saving data
To save your data, click on the Save button and select the desired file directory. The
complete data array will be saved in *.csv file format. Relevant metadata (e.g. exposure
time, acquisition date, etc.) will be saved in the file header. A presentation-ready image
showing a screenshot of the data is also saved (see example in Figure 9).
