I want to record continuous data for intensity vs wavelength for a mechanoluminescence under dynamic strain. I am using ocean optics spectrasuite. Anyone here could guide me how to save continuous data for multiple strain cycles.
Hi Saqib -- I'm afraid the easiest way for you to record continuous data from an Ocean Optics spectrometer may be to write your own software driver to repeatedly readout and save the spectrum (or, if you have extra money lying around, pay out for the MATLAB-compatible driver) rather than to use SpectraSuite. Fortunately for you, Ocean Optics is very good in terms of the documentation they provide for communicating with the on-board spectrometer hardware -- just look up the data sheet for your particular model to find its USB/serial protocols. I have seen this done before in both Labview and Python; you can browse the links for ideas of what these programs look like and how to get started. Good luck, ~Eric
