Spectrum Measurement Window

The spectrum measurement window is embedded into the main application window. All measurement parameters can be adjusted in the instrument tab on the right. It slides in and out on demand. Measured data will be displayed in regular data views (2D-view/3D-view).

The operator may perform other tasks while a measurement is in progress. He can simply switch back to the measurement view and/or restore the instrument tab to get back to the ongoing measurement.

A complete application window looks like this showing a live spectrum measurement in progress:

Spectrum Measurement Window contents

The spectrum measurement window is divided into two parts:

• Data Display: A regular 2D/3D-View displays the measured data or live spectrum.

• Instrument Tab: A regular tab (like the project/library tabs in the application) holds all instrument controls and parameters. Please review the section Instrument Tab for a detailed description of all options.

The spectrum measurement window looks essentially the same for the FTLA/FTPA and MB3000/3600 spectrometers!

Switching between the different instrument types can easily be done via the Instrument menu. Simply select the appropriate instrument in the menu and the instrument tab will switch to the selected instrument type.

All regular Tab Operations also apply to the instrument tab. In addition to the usual "docked" position the tab may be automatically minimized:

When minimized to the right side of the application window as shown above, you may simply move the mouse over the lettering to make it slide in. Alternatively you can display it as detached floating window on top of the software:

Please review the chapter Tab Operations for details.
