GER 1500 SPECTRORADIOMETER 102. INTRODUCTIONThe GER 1500 PC Data Acquisition Software provides the user with a flexible, easy to use softwarepackage. The GER PC Data Acquisition Software is used to acquire data from the GER 1500, storedata to files on disk, and display data graphically.The Acquisition Software can modify spectroradiometer parameters, read battery voltage, takespectral measurements, and download spectral measurements from the on board memory of theGER 1500 to files on disk. The Acquisition Software allows data to be configured and stored to a fileon disk when taking a spectral measurement.The software has a number of features that provide a great deal of flexibility for data storage:• Data files can be configured as Sig Files for use with PC Data Acquisition Software.• Data files can be configured as user defined ASCII Files for export to other softwarepackages.• Data files can be automatically created and given an incremental extension at the end ofthe acquisition.• Data can be saved to a unique file name at the end of the acquisition.• Data can be evaluated and saved to a file at a later time.• The two types of graphic displays are as follows• The single graph which displays the Reference and Target Radiance on the left Y axisand the Percent Reflectance on the right axis for one measurement.• The multi graph which displays the Percent Reflectance of up to ten measurements onone graph.The real time display of a computer measurement can be configured to display the data in one graph,both graphs, or no graphs.The PC Data Acquisition Software’s initial screen is shown below.GER 1500 USER MANUAL, REVISION 3.7
GER 1500 SPECTRORADIOMETER 11The screen above is divided into several areas, asdescribed below:The main menu allows the operator to open/save filesand configure both the instrument settings and thedisplay of spectral data. Each menu item is discussed indetail in subsequent sections.The Reference button causes the instrument to take andgraphically display reference data.The Target button causes the instrument to take andgraphically display target data.The File Stack area shows the list of data files that arecurrently open. It also allows the operator to selectwhich files to graph in single-graph mode by doubleclicking.The Plot Type area allows the operator to select thetype of data displayed in the graph area.The Status Bar area displays the channel number, thewavelength, and the Radiance/ Reflectance value of aselected data point on a displayed graph.A data point in a graph is selected by moving the cursorto the point of interest, and left-clicking on the point.(Graphing Area)The large white area displays single-graph or multigraphdata sets. The Graphing Area operates in twomodes, Zoom Mode and Normal Mode.ZOOM MODE: A rectangular area of interest may bemagnified by holding down the left mouse button while“dragging” a rectangular area across the graph. Whenthe left mouse button is released, the graph is re-drawnto contain only the dragged rectangle.NORMAL MODE: Click the right mouse buttonanywhere in the graph area to restore the magnificationto normal.GER 1500 USER MANUAL, REVISION 3.7
