ARCoptix Digital Acquisition Acquisition system: AoDAQ
The AoDAQ is a multi-threading, cross-platform and versatile software that simultaneously takes care
of:
- (1) Handling communication with the FT-IR via USB
- (2) Processing raw signals to deliver the spectrum
- (3) Running a TCP ethernet server
The AoDAQ can be installed on all sorts of computers, from desktop machines to embedded, low-power
single board computers. Thanks to the hosting of a TCP server, the instrument data and parameters can be
accessed locally and/or remotely. All communication with the instrument eventually reduces to a set of
TCP/IP commands that allow to quickly acquire data, adjust parameters, monitor the instrument status
etc. using the programming environment of your choice.
Free GUI basic software
The FTIR Rocket is delivered with a free Windows 7 & Windows 10 compatible graphical user interface
(GUI) program.
The free basic software package allows the user to:
- Configure hardware measurement parameters (amplifier gain, averaging, ...).
- Display real-time spectral measurement results.
- Set reference spectra (white, dark) and choose among raw spectra, transmission or reflection mode.
- Usual features such as save, open, zoom, rescale...
- Some specific features related to Fourier transform spectrometry: choose among spectrum or
interferogram averaging, apodization,
look and save the interferograms, etc.
Free API & Examples
The FTIR Rocket is also delivered with a free API that allows you to control the spectrometer with
custom code via our DLLs. Examples are available for the following languages:
Advanced data processing & analysis software
In collaboration with Labcognition GmbH in Germany we
also
offer additional Panorama software packages:
Math Add-on module
contains a set of standard manipulation operations used in spectroscopy, like normalization,
derivative, baseline correction, peak picking and more.
In addition some special operations are available, like multiplicative scatter correction, thickness
correction or standard normal variate
correction and others.
Quantity Add-on module
is an expert in multivariate data analysis with quantitative methods like PLS and MLR. A convenient
and
intuitive wizard guides you through all
steps of calibration model development. Complex statistical methods become very easy to use even for
non-experienced users.
Search Add-on module
is an ideal add-on to archive your spectroscopic data and related information. It includes
spectrum and
full text search functionality on
spectral libraries of various different library formats or directly on data in the file system.
IRAnalyze software package
is a highly sophisticated IR spectrum interpretation tool. Based on an IR spectrum, it provides you
with automatic results for IR bands
to functional group correlations and their characteristic frequencies. Furthermore, it is a
comprehensive electronic dictionary to browse
frequiencies for correlated IR bands.
