Embedded Control Spectrometer Unit
From: tec5USA, Inc.
The tecSaaS, tec5’s Spectrometer as a Sensor, is a spectrometer system with an on-board processor that bypasses the requirement for a computer. It processes spectral data in real time and sends only relevant results to the process interface. The process interface can be Modbus/TCP, CAN, or others upon request. Complex analysis algorithms, such as chemometric models and Fast-Fourier Transforms (FFT), can be programmed into the electronics.
