1. Introduction
1.1 Introduction of SPECTRUM GENIUS Standard
In order to provide you a better solution for collecting and analyzing measurement data from
MK350, the popular handheld spectrometer, AsenseTek announces powerful software “SPECTRUM
GENIUS Standard " which give you a quick and complete understanding about the photometric of
each luminaries you measure. You will be amazed at the friendly user interface and powerful data
management functions.
1.2 System requirement and Setup
SPECTRUM GENIUS Standard is a free installation software. The software can be stored in a
removable storage media, after the software been used and removed, there will not be any record
left on the local computer. It is recommended to run SPECTRUM GENIUS Standard on Windows XP
or Windows 7.

2.4 Parameter List
SPECTRUM GENIUS Standard provides nine optical parameters that contains chromaticity
coordinates CIE1931(x, y), CIE1976(u ',v'), CCT(correlated color temperature), CRI(color rendering
index), light intensity(illuminance), wavelength of peak, and peak counts.
2.4.1 Parameters
1. Chromaticity Coordination:
Color is determined by the luminance and chrominance.
The chromaticity reflect the hue and saturation of colors.
2. CCT:
The temperature of planckian radiator whose chromaticity is nearest to that of the
source in a suitable uniform chromaticity -scale diagram.
3. CRI:
A quantitative measure of the ability of a light source to reproduce the colors of
various objects faithfully in comparison with an ideal or natural light source.
4. Illuminance:
The light flux received on unit area.
5. Wavelength of Peak:
The wavelength at which the intensity of a light source is at maximum.
6. Peak counts:
The maximum counts in the spectral diagram.

2.5 Spectrum Diagram
SPECTRUM GENIUS Standard provides 1 nm high-resolution and full-color optical spectrum.
Users can quickly understand the optical spectrum and the characteristics of light source.
2.6 Chromaticity Diagram
SPECTRUM GENIUS Standard provides two chromaticity coordinates diagram for CIE1931 and
CIE1976. The below figures show the chromaticity characteristics of the light sources.
