Mini-spectrometer TG series
s
Optical component layout
TG series mini-spectrometers use a transmission holographic
grating made of quartz and precision optical components
arranged on a rugged optical base, making it possible to
deliver high throughput and highly accurate optical charac-
teristics.

Connection example
(transmission light measurement)
Light to be measured is guided into the entrance port of TG
series through an optical fiber and the spectrum measured
with the built-in image sensor is output through the USB port
to a PC for data acquisition. There are no moving parts inside
the unit so stable measurements are obtained at all times. An
optical fiber that guides light input from external sources al-
lows a flexible measurement setup.

Dedicated software package (supplied with unit)
Installing the dedicated software package (containing sample software, device driver, DLL)*
13
into your PC allows running the
following basic tasks:
· Measurement data acquisition and save
· Measurement condition setup
· Module information acquisition
(wavelength conversion factor, polychromator type, etc.)
· Graphic display
· Arithmetic operation
Pixel number to wavelength conversion
Dark subtraction
Comparison calculation with reference data
(transmittance, reflectance)
Gaussian approximation
(peak position and count, FWHM)
Note: Two or more mini-spectrometers can be
connected and used with one PC
simultaneously.
*13: Compatible OS: Microsoft Windows
Professional Edition 2000
(SP3 or later) and XP (SP1a or later)
Device driver and DLL for controlling hardware are also provided.
You can develop your own measurement programs by using a software development environment that includes Microsoft Visual
C++ and Visual Basic.*
