Page 4: Introduction
1.2 Information, Warnings and Safety Instructions 1.2.1 Hazardous Voltage The HERA IPERSPETTRALE can generate high output currents at high voltages. They may cause serious or even lethal injury if used improperly. Therefore, the equipment should only be operated by personnel, which is adequately trained and educated to prevent any improper use. Please follow general accident prevention rules: •... -
Page 5: Unpacking
Please be careful when unpacking the HERA IPERSPETTRALE. Inspect the products for signs of damage and only use equipment that shows no signs of damage. In case of any damage, contact NIREOS for replacement. Please save all packing materials in case you would like to transport or ship the product again. -
Page 6: Setup And Adjustments
Connect the HERA IPERSPETTRALE to the provided 5A 12V AC adapter. Once connected, the HERA IPERSPETTRALE automatically turns on. • Connect the HERA IPERSPETTRALE to a USB 3.0 port of your computer with the provided USB cable. Figure 1 : Picture of the back of the HERA IPERSPETTRALE showing the connections. -

NIREOS | HERA IPERSPETTRALE | USER TECHNICAL MANUAL 1.2 2.2.2 Software – HERA_APP The HERA_APP software is designed for data acquisition. It enables one to: Set the measurement parameters, such as exposure time, number of averages, spectral resolution (by choosing a pre-defined scan mode – S, M or L). - Page 12 NIREOS | HERA IPERSPETTRALE | USER TECHNICAL MANUAL 1.2 Front Panel of the HERA_APP Software – “Time Domain TAB” • N. Averages: The user can select the number of averaged images at each step of the interferometer. Increasing the number of averages enables one to increase the SNR.
- Page 13 NIREOS | HERA IPERSPETTRALE | USER TECHNICAL MANUAL 1.2 notes concerning the measurement (e.g., experimental conditions, illumination, etc…); these notes will be saved in the selected folder in a separate .txt file. To save the measured data, press the “Save Measurement” button. The data is saved as a raw interferometric map.

NIREOS | HERA IPERSPETTRALE | USER TECHNICAL MANUAL 1.2 2.2.3 Software – HERA_ANALYSIS_APP The HERA_ANALYSIS_APP software is designed for data analysis. It enables one to: Load raw interferometric data acquired with the HERA_APP Software or import previously saved hyperspectral data-cubes. - Page 16 NIREOS | HERA IPERSPETTRALE | USER TECHNICAL MANUAL 1.2 the raw data, the user can set the desired binning in the “Settings” TAB. Increasing the binning reduces the spatial resolution, but it increases the speed of the computation and the SNR. After that, the user can press the computation button to compute the hyperspectral image.
- Page 17 NIREOS | HERA IPERSPETTRALE | USER TECHNICAL MANUAL 1.2 NB. The HERA_ANALYSIS_APP Software already takes into account differences in the Exposure and Number of Averages settings between the hyperspectral image of interest and the relative Lambertian image. To normalize the hyperspectral data, go to “NormalizationReference Image” and select the Lambertian raw interferometric data of interest.
