C11713CA
C11714CB
For Raman spectrophotometry,
high resolution type (spectral resolution: 0.3 nm)
The C11713CA and C11714CB are polychromators integrated with optical elements, an image sensor and a driver circuit. Light
to be measured is guided into the entrance port of TG series through an optical fiber and the spectrum measured with the
built-in image sensor is output from the USB port to a PC for data acquisition. The C11713CA has sensitivity in a wavelength
range of 500 to 600 nm, while the C11714CB covers a range of 790 to 920 nm. Both types offer a spectral resolution of 0.3
nm. Their products come supplied with free evaluation software that allows setting measurement conditions, acquiring and
saving data, and displaying graphs. Original measurement software can be designed on an end-user’s side as DLL’s function
specification is disclosed.

A/D output is the output with dark output is subtracted when light is input. The difference between the ideal value and
typical example contains a measurement error. The smaller the A/D output, the larger the measurement error.

Connection example (transmission light measurement)
Light to be measured is guided into the entrance port of TG series through an optical fiber and the spectrum measured with the
built-in image sensor is output through the USB port to a PC for data acquisition. There are no moving parts inside the unit so stable
measurements are obtained at all times. An optical fiber that guides light input from external sources allows a flexible measurement
setup.

Evaluation software package (supplied with unit)
Installing the evaluation software package (Spec Evaluation.exe)*8
into your PC allows running the following basic tasks:
· Measurement data acquisition and save
· Measurement condition setup
· Module information acquisition
(wavelength conversion factor, polychromator type, etc.)
· Graphic display
· Arithmetic operation
Pixel number to wavelength conversion
Comparison calculation with reference data
(transmittance, reflectance)
Dark subtraction
Gaussian approximation
(peak position and count, FWHM)
Note:
· Two or more mini-spectrometers can be connected and used
with one PC simultaneously.
· The external trigger input function does not work with the evaluation software. If using an external trigger input or designing
original application software, the user software must be configured to support that function.
*8: Compatible OS: Microsoft® Windows® 7 Professional SP1 (32-bit)*9
Microsoft® Windows® 7 Professional SP1 (64-bit)*9
DLL for controlling hardware is also provided.
You can develop your own measurement programs by using a following software development environment.
