9.2. The SpectroLink™ dashboard

From the grid view, click on your SpectroLink™. It will appear with the de-

fault name: "My SpectroLink™". The SpectroLink™ dashboard will either

show you a frozen view if your spectrophotometer is not connected or the

normal view to control it, if it is connected. In the attached image below is

an example of a dashboard with no spectrophotometer connected to your

SpectroLink™.

Any interactions with SpectroLink™ are controlled through the user interfa-

ce of SpectroWorks™. Depending on the spectrophotometer used, the user

interface of the SpectroLink™ dashboard changes according to what your

instrument supports. This is to declutter the interface and make it easier

to navigate.

On the SpectroLink™ dashboard you can set various settings on your spe-

ctrophotometer and set it up for measurements. On the left is a parameter

and controls section, where you can set the background, wavelength range

etc. The right side of the dashboard contains a plotter canvas, where easy

single shot spectrum can be captured and also exported directly by using

the buttons below the canvas. This canvas can also be used to gauge how

well you have set the parameters for your spectrophotometer.
