Byte Format
Request Spectra
Initiates spectra acquisition. The Flame will acquire a complete spectrum (2048 pixel values).
The data is returned in bulk transfer mode through EP2. The table below provides the pixel
order overview for the 2 different speeds. The pixel values are decoded as described below.
Byte Format
Return Format
The format for the returned spectral data is dependent upon the USB communication.
The format for both High Speed (480 Mbps) and Full Speed (12Mbps) is shown below.
All pixel values are 16 bit values which are organized in LSB | MSB order. There is an
additional packet containing one value that is used as a flag to insure proper
synchronization between the PC and Flame.
