During operation button has back or measurement functionality, depending on the selected menu. Touch screen display Displays the measurement results and allows the control of the device.
2 MAVOSPEC Software The MAVOSPEC software allows you to make measurements of light sources, store and present them in a tabular or graphic form and calculate chromaticity parameters. It works as an Android application and its use is similar to other applications for phones and devices based on the Android system. 2.1 Home Screen On the home screen, you can choose one of the following functions, which will be described further on.
2.2 Config Screen The following measurement parameters can be set on the config screen: Auto Device automatically selects integration time. When this field is checked, the integration time parameter is omitted. Integration time Duration of the light measurement. Repeat count Number of measurements which will be used to calculate average light signal. Flicker frequency Flicker frequency of a measured light source in Hz. Set 0 for non-flicker light source.
2.3 Spectrum Screen The Spectrum screen presents the spectrum chart of a measurement with several parameters at the top. The name of the measurement being presented is always shown in the title bar next to the GOSSEN icon. Screens which present measurements are equipped with a quick navigation tool bar. The quick navigation toolbar allows you to navigate between measurements in the current directory and select another presentation screen.
2.4 Results Screen The Results screen presents calculated chromaticity parameters which describe a measured light source. 2.5 CIE Chart Screen CIE chart screen shows chromaticity parameters on CIE chromaticity diagrams.
2.6 Data Screen The Data screen presents a table of spectrum data corresponding to a measurement. First column shows the wavelength, the second column the signal level. 2.7 Library Screen The Library screen shows measurements in the current directory and allows selecting the measurement which is displayed on the presentation screens. After a selection is made (by tapping the desired line), the measurement is displayed on the spectrum screen and is set as the current one.
When you tap a measurement on the list and hold it for a while, the context menu is displayed. The Context menu provides you with a set of functions available for a selected measurement. 2.7.1 Directories Screen The directories screen shows directories in which the measurement results are stored. It also provides you with any easy tool to manage them. They are created automatically on the micro SD card where the measurements are collected and named using the date on which they were taken.
2.8 Settings Screen System settings as data, time or Wi-Fi configuration can be edited in the Settings screen. 2.8.1 Battery Status Battery status shows the current battery level. Battery level is also shown below title bar as a line. Depending on the battery level it has color green (high level) , yellow (medium level) or red (low level). 2.8.2 Wi-Fi Settings For activating WiFi tap on the related box.
Locate your wireless network name (SSID). Tap on your wireless network's SSID. If your wireless router requires a key or password, the prompt on the right side should appear and you should enter the password. i Some keys/passwords are case-sensitive, so if it fails to connect, please make sure you use uppercase and lowercase letters appropriately. If you are successful, it should show the word Connected underneath your wireless router's SSID on this list.
2.8.2 Idle Time Idle time can be set to turn off the device automatically after the selected time and to lengthen operating time for battery. If idle time is off the device works until manual turn off. 2.8.3 Date & Time Settings Several settings for time and date as well as the formats can be done in this screen.
2.8.4 Status This screen shows the status of the last measurement. 2.8.5 Info Device information is shown in this pop up menu.
3 Trigger Input / Output MAVOSPEC is equipped with input and output signal lines dedicated for starting measurement from external device and triggering external devices when measurement is started. Trigger In line - high state on this line causes the same effect as pressing button on the device. Trigger Out line - at the measurement start MAVOSPEC sets high state on this line. The high state is maintained throughout the period of measurement.
Pin allocation – stereo mini jack plug 3.5 mm 1. Sleeve - GND 2. TRIGGER OUT - Open collector (Optocoupler TLP 127 - Darlington transistor). - Maximum Collector current: 50 mA. - The transistor is turned on during the measurement 3. TRIGGER IN - The measurement is triggered by the rising edge of voltage (3 - 9V) 4.
