10.3 TRACQ BASIC SOFTWARE
Oriel’s optional TracQ Basic Data Acquisition and Radiometery Software is an instrument control
package that includes data acquisition and processing. TracQ Basic allows users to acquire
spectroscopic measurement data quickly and easily, without requiring any programming
knowledge. TracQ Basic is true radiometry software, which enables users to acquire basic voltage
measurements or use the built-in algorithms for spectroscopic measurements. Data acquisition
and processing occurs in real time.
TracQ Basic is an application integrating Oriel monochromators with various detection
instruments, such as the Newport Optical Power and Energy Meters, 1918-R, 1936-R and 2936-R,
plus Oriel’s LIDA-SRS-KIT. Software prompts guide users through the measurement process.
Instruments are controlled and scan parameters are set up through simple, intuitive dialog boxes.
The front panel of the software allows one to see instrument status, present wavelength, signal
reading and the selected wavelength units.
