DataScan spectrometer controller/photometer centralizes the control of you experiment through one single interface.
The DataScan includes the following capabilities:
- Complete control of one or two HORIBA Jobin Yvon spectrometers
- Data acquisition from 2 input channels
- 4 programmable gain settings and autoranging
- Internal storage of up to 5000 data points
- Communication via RS-232C & optional IEEE-488
- High Voltage for 2 detectors (optional 0-1200V)
- 8 output and 6 input lines (TTL)
- External Trigger input
- Control of 2 shutters
- Analog output for a strip chart recorder
- Can be computer controlled or via a HandScan
The DataScan's built in microcode allows you to access any of the system's individual functions via simple ASCII character commands. Creation of programs for unique and sophisticated experimental procedures are vastly simplified. You may also define a complete acquisition from a command that permits you to send all the parameters necessary in one step. The DataScan will then run autonomously and hold the data in memory until it is requested.
Communications between your computer and the DataScan can be through one of your standard serial RS-232C COM ports or through an optional IEEE-488 interface. Both may in fact be incorporated in the same instrument. You can use the IEEE-488 interface to communicate with your computer while using the optional HandScan through the serial port for non-programmed control of your spectrometer and to aid in debugging your programs
For the spectroscopist who does not wish to create his own programs our Windows software offers fully integrated packages for control of your instrument and accessories along with data processing.
