SpectralTransfer Overview

1 Overview

The SpectralTransfer program is used for the direct data exchange between
the photometer and PC. The SpectralTransfer program requires additional
software on the PC for the data exchange (see section 2.1).

When all programs have been installed, you can:

z Backup measurement data saved in the photometer in *.csv format on a

PC

– Exported measurement datasets from the measurement data memory

(concentration, absorbance, transmission and multi-wavelengths
measurements)

– Spectra

– Kinetic records

z Transmit and save user-defined methods

– from the photometer to a PC

– from the PC (existing backup data) to the photometer

z Carry out the software and method update

It is also possible to save the photometer data and carry out the software and
method update by means of a USB memory connected to the photometer.
The transmission of user-defined methods to the photometer, however, is
possible with a direct connection of the PC and photometer only.
