The remote sensing data acquisition and analysis software is engineered for use with ASD spectroradiometers, with the added benefits of Ethernet and wireless functionality. RS3™ has Windows® friendly advanced features, which include GPS compatibility, settings recollection upon start-up and shut-down and easy-to-navigate menus that facilitate simple and convenient data collection for applications such as:
-
Atmospheric research
-
Forestry, ecology and plant physiology studies
-
Light energy measurements
-
Spectroradiometric calibrations
ASD's RS3 Windows-compatible user interface software can be used for data collection, averaging, storage and display of DN, reflectance, radiance or irradiance spectra in 'real-time' and spectrum area. Additional capabilities such as PPFD (Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density) and quantum intensity (QI) in post processing, are optional radiometric calibrations required for radiance and irradiance. PPFD and QI are sold separately.
To assure and maintain the most accurate data collection, RS3 saves the displayed spectrum, not the current collected spectrum so the user's final results will represent the most accurate data. Some additional features and benefits of the RS3 software include:
-
Ethernet, wireless and GPS compatibility
-
View up to five previous spectral scans while simultaneously collecting new spectra
-
Includes ViewSpec™ Pro* post-processing software
-
Reports saturation without interfering with workflow
-
Records both the reference and sample scan in a single file when collecting reflectance or transmission, which means the raw sample and reference scans can always be recovered, allowing for later processing or data correction
*The included ViewSpec™ Pro software allows users to view, manipulate, plot and print collected spectra with easy to use, menu based navigation.
