SPX driver Software

GL optic spectrometers are delivered with SPX free-of-charge software pack. It is a driver software for measuring  devices which enables the computer system of your PC to control and communicate with the device.
It also features the measurement mode to run measurements when the spectrometer is connected to your PC. This software gives you information on  the native data of measured spectra as well as a simple graphical representation. The data can be later processed either in spreadsheets or other spectral analysis programs.
SPX controls the measurement process and you can set proper integration  time depending on light conditions and also determine the number of repeated measurements. It is possible to save data in the *csv format which can be imported into Excel. Native data show the spectral value of the test results in each specific wave length.  For the mini-spectrometer the data is obtained in a 1,7nm interval. The bottom line of the screen shows the status of the device, spectrometer identification number and indicates the temperature of the spectrometer.


The SPX software contains all the necessary options
for bandpass error correction, correction of baseline
level changed by temperature and calculation procedure
for OSR* system /Optical Stray Light Reduction/ to
determine and correct the influence of stray light
on measured spectra.

GL Optic integrating sphere GLS205 AND GLS125
“The ultimate solution for luminous flux and radiant power measurement of LEDs.”

The GL Optic Integrating Sphere GLS 205 has been designed for the measurement of Luminoux Flux and Radiant Power of LEDs and other light sources compliant with the recommendation of the CIE Technical Committee published in Technical Report CIE 127:2007.
The geometry of the sphere allows the installation of different adapters to measure all kinds of light sources. Conforming to CIE recommendations front emitting diodes can be measured at the wall entrance in 2π geometry. Other types of LEDs should be measured at the center of the sphere in 4π geometry.

The entrance of the sphere is equipped with a precisely designed 50mm aperture which can be used in Partial Flux measurements of LEDs. For this application the test LED is installed outside the sphere at determined distance and the flux is measured inside the sphere. Appropriate accessories are available for specific measurement purposes. The GLS 205 features the auxiliary light source for compensation of the self-absorption effect of the test LED.


Inner walls of the sphere are coated with barium sulfate / BaSO4/ which ensures high reflectance properties up to 97%. On demand for specific applications gold plating of inner walls can be offered.

The GL Optic spheres are available in 2 sizes:
• GLS125 with 125mm diameter as a low-cost solution
• GLS205 with 205mm diameter conforming to CIE standards for LED measurement.

All GL Optic spheres are universal and can be used with the PROFI SPECTROMETER with fiber optics bundle or with the mini-spectrometer with a proper adaptor installed directly on the sphere

Features:
• Measurement of LEDs compliant with CIE 127:2007
• Total Luminous Flux or Partial Flux measurements
• Geometry for front emitting diodes and other sources
• Universal ports for SMA fiber optics or mini-spectrometer
