new in PRISM: monitoring of your spectrum live

Post by Olivier Thizy »

Hello,


with latest update of Prism v10, there is a new feature that should interest spectroscopists: you can define an area and show either the p^rofile (bionning) or the maxiumum in ADU for each exposure. This latest mode is what I use to monitor that my signazl doesn't saturate, by selecting a small area around the brightest feature on my echelle spectrum.

This feature is available under "information" tab of your CCD camera.

Here is an exempple of the graph showing maximuml ADU as a function of time (clic on image to see in full including the graph):
