ooacquire 0.5.1 (2024-08-20)

Minor update to make it easier to synchronise acquisition of spectra and other events using trigger functions.

ooacquire 0.5.0 (2024-08-02)

Updates to interactive acquisition of spectra. Main improvement is in the triggering of events synchronised with spectral data acquisition. The changes to the triggers UI is code breaking except when using defaults. Code unrelated to the use of triggers is not affected.

ooacquire 0.4.6 (2024-03-29)

ooacquire 0.4.5 (2024-02-27)

Improved performance for the two Maya spectrometers with slit-function characterization available, at the expense of very slightly different computed spectral irradiances (differences are at most in the 5th significant place of individual spectral irradiance values).

ooacquire 0.4.4-4 (2024-02-22)

The new features allowing measurement of time series of thousands of spectra at a very fast rate are easily affected by glitches in the USB connection. If the acquisition hangs from time to time, a high quality and short USB cable with ferrite beads is likely to help.

Measurement of pulsed light sources (under development)

The new features described below are under development, subject to change and not yet well tested!! (double-check any results and please raise issues if you find any bugs!)

Implement support for measuring output from xenon flashes, including use of such flashes as light sources for measurement of spectral transmittance and reflectance. Use of multiple exposures per integration is also supported and the number of exposures stored as metadata is used during later processing. In the case of pulsed light sources the first conversion of RAW spectra is into counts per exposure, and instead of spectral irradiance spectral fluence per exposure is computed. All changes are backwards compatible with raw data acquired with earlier versions of 'ooacquire'.

ooacquire 0.1.5 (2017-11-13)

ooacquire 0.1.4 (2017-05-11)

ooacquire 0.1.3

Test irradiance acquisition functions against a different MayaPro spectrometer, and fix the bugs that became apparent. Tested against latest OmniDriver 1.4.6.

ooacquire 0.1.2

ooacquire 0.1.1

ooacquire 0.1.0

First version.
