TracQ Basic integrates Oriel monochromators and spectrographs with various detection instruments. Software prompts guide users through the measurement process. Instruments are controlled and scan parameters are set up through simple, intuitive dialog boxes. The front panel of the software allows users to monitor the instrument status, present wavelength, signal reading and the selected wavelength units. The Oriel TracQ Basic software is an instrument control package that includes data acquisition and processing. TracQ Basic allows users to acquire spectroscopic measurement data quickly and easily, without requiring any programming knowledge. TracQ Basic is true radiometry software, which enables users to acquire basic signal vs. wavelength measurements or use the built-in algorithms for spectroscopic measurements. Data acquisition and processing occur in real time. TracQ Basic includes many features, such as:

• Monochromator grating selection
• Automatic bandpass selection
• Motorized filter selection
• Wavelength unit selection
• Wavelength offset
• Output port selection
• Monochromator shutter control
• QE detector and preamplifier gain setups
• Detector spectral responsivity file integration
• Background subtraction
