Fig. 1.1 TII Spectrometry on different platforms.

TII Spectrometry is a cross-platform application to control integrated visible or infrared light spectrometers and analyze the acquired spectra. Installation of the software differs by platform:

• on Windows, simply copy the TII Spectrometry folder to any desired location and double-click on TII-Spectrometry.exe

• on macOS, drag the TII-Spectrometry bundle to the Applications folder. The app can be opened by double-clicking TII-Spectrometry

• on Linux navigate to the folder containing the TII-Spectrometry.deb file and execute sudo dpkg -i TII-Spectrometry.deb. This will add TII Spectrometry to the desktop menu.

  Note

  The TII-Spectrometry.deb contains *.rules files to grant USB access to TII Spectrometry, which will be installed to /etc/udev/rules.d/ using the above command. A reboot or log-in / log-out cycle may be required to gain access to USB devices after the first installation.

1.1. Supported Devices & Environments

TII Spectrometry supports the Windows, macOS (Apple Silicon) and Linux operating environments. On Linux, both x64 (i.e. desktop computers) and arm64 (e.g. RaspberryPi single-board computers) are supported. Most spectrometers are supported on all platforms, see Table 1.1 for exceptions. Simultaneous control of multiple supported spectrometers is supported.
