SpecWin Pro 5.0 consolidates all Instrument Systems spectrometers into a single software environment, providing users with an intuitive interface for instrument control and data analysis. The update supports standard EULUMDAT (LDT) and IES (IESNA LM-63) export formats, adds compliance with CIE 190:2010, and automatically adjusts UGR calculations to match Relux requirements. By harmonizing these modules, the platform delivers improved measurement precision, streamlined workflows, and versatile capabilities for diverse photometric tasks.
Sequence Calculator Enables Comprehensive Goniometer Measurements with Automatic Adjustments
The goniometer module includes a powerful Sequence Calculator tool that processes multiple measurement sequences with varied device-under-test orientations. This functionality enables comprehensive mapping of luminaires featuring dual-sided or intricate emission patterns. Precision is further enhanced through automatic alignment error compensation and minimal interpolation discrepancy calculation across sequences. Advanced interpolation between measurement planes generates detailed spatial intensity profiles, which can be exported directly in widely used standardized EULUMDAT or IES formats.
SpecWin Pro 5.0 Enables SMU Control Of Pulsed VCSELs
SpecWin Pro 5.0 facilitates characterization of fast-pulsed VCSELs by integrating Source Measure Units (SMUs) from suppliers such as Keithley Instruments and Vektrex Inc into the measurement workflow. Users can define and monitor pulse durations down to 10 µs with high timing accuracy, while the unified graphical interface eliminates the need for external scripting. Current sourcing and detection are synchronized through a single control panel, simplifying laboratory setups and minimizing errors.
TOP300 and CAS 140D Accelerate Precise Near-Eye Display Testing
AR/VR headset optics developers gain advantages through the integration of the TOP300 measurement accessory, specifically engineered for near-eye displays. When paired with the calibrated high-end CAS 140D spectrometer, the system defines a measurement spot size of ±1.2°, faithfully replicating human ocular geometry. The integrated view-finder camera streamlines DUT alignment, enhancing positioning accuracy. This combined solution facilitates efficient test setups, reduces variation, and supports reliable, reproducible measurements across AR/VR component evaluations.
SpecWin Pro 5.0 Boosts Precision, Efficiency, Flexibility In Measurements
SpecWin Pro 5.0 integrates advanced spectral measurement precision and broad analysis capabilities within a unified software environment. Enhanced goniometer modules enable comprehensive angular characterization with automated adjustment compensation and sequence interpolation. Optimized SMU support delivers precise pulsed VCSEL control up to microsecond durations without external scripts. The integrated TOP300/CAS 140D kit with viewfinder camera ensures accurate near-eye display alignment. Standard EULUMDAT, IES exports and seamless Relux compatibility streamline workflow processes.
