Spectrometer electronics
Our spectrometers can be purchased without accompanying electronics, giving direct access to the pins on the chosen detector. Alternatively, Ibsen Photonics can supply our Digital Image Sensor Boards (DISB), designed to operate the detector of choice via hardware commands over a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI). The DISB electronics can also be supplied with a DISB to USB Bridge board, which converts the SPI connection to a standard USB 2.0 for convenient connection to a PC.
Below, you will find links to all our available electronics.
