LabSpec® 5000 / 5100 series—the latest in truly portable post-dispersive ultra-rugged spectrometers. The LabSpec® 5000 / 5100 series incorporates the benchmark power of the award winning LabSpec® Pro’s broad spectral range (350-2500 nm) and combines it with Ethernet and optional wireless functionality, as well as expanded temperature operating parameters for reliability even in extreme environments. Also standard is a more ruggedized exterior design with non-slip, urethane end-caps and easily accessible, integrated, high performance Wide Band Halogen light source featuring higher output and stability. In addition to the ASD Indico software, the LabSpec® 5000 / 5100 series includes a streamlined compatibility with LabVIEW® software for autonomous control of the spectrometer. The new series also offers enhanced remote instrument diagnostics, embedded Remote Trigger port, and the new NIR Cooled InGaAs TurboScanner™ technology from ASD. LabSpec® 5100 is the higher resolution version of the series.
