MENU – Settings All settings apply to the display at the device as well as the stored measured value file. Where the decimal separator and date are concerned, country specific adaptation may be required in order to assure that the CSV file is read in correctly by the respective software program. Units Units of measure can be switched from the metric system to the imperial system. -
Page 23: Menu - Measurements
MENU – Measurement The measuring range, and thus the sensitivity of the spectrometer, are controlled by means of integration time, i.e. the time during which the sensor collects light. The brighter the light source, the shorter integration time must be, and vice versa. In this respect it must be assured that the sensor is not saturated even during the shortest integration time. -
