Spectral Data Prprocessing in Real Time
Ethernet Interface Electronics: PD-ETH01V1 /DP

The new product version of the Ethernet electronics is a powerful spectral data acquisition controller offering onboard real time data preprocessing functionality. It performs dark correction, averaging, linearization and region of interest selection while reading the spectrometer, without introducing a processing delay. This helps to effectively reduce the network traffic and the PC processing load in fast Ethernet-based spectroscopy applications.

tec5 Spectrometer Systems: Faster than a Flash

Leading solar institutes in Germany and the USA rely on tec5 detector-array technology when classifying continuous and pulsed solar simulators. Key components are high throughput spectrometer modules from Carl Zeiss and fast and precise 16 bit tec5 operation electronics. The wide spectrum from 250 to 1690nm can be acquired within less than 1 ms.

Precise triggering and the detailed know-how of the operation of the detector arrays are necessary for the exact characterization of pulsed light sources. For some solar simulators the measurement time window is as short as 2 ms. This is the key challenge, as has been demonstrated in a number of scientific publications (e.g. 22nd PVSEC, J. Hohl-Ebinger, ISE)

As a manufacturer of high-end detector-array electronics, tec5 solves these challenges with special operation modes. The exact triggering and the data acquisition are directly realized within the hardware. After completed acquisition, the acquired data are forwarded to the software interface.

Close Cooperation with Evonik Industries

The Chemicals Business Area of Evonik Industries employs round about 30,000 people in Business Units and projects at various locations and in chemical specific services. The six Business Units are grouped into three reporting segments: chemical products for Consumer Solutions, Technology Specialties and Specialty Materials.

For many years, Evonik Degussa GmbH applies NIR spectrometers based on AOTF technology in a wide range of process applications. The existing spectrometer systems will now be replaced by state-of-the-art technology, such as diode array and Fourier transform instruments. In the field of diode array spectrometers the department of process analytic technology is striving for a close cooperation with tec5.

The MultiSpec spectrometer systems of tec5, which has been selected because of their stability, robustness and high precision, will be particularly used for applications with fast reactions and high dynamic processes.

2010 - Best Year in tec5 History

The tec5 group can look back to a very successful financial year 2010. Turnover and gross profit could be increased considerably compared to the previous years. This result would not have been possible without the great efforts of the tec5 staff and, of course, the full confidence of our customers. For this, the tec5 management would like to thank you very much.

We will not rest but continue to do our very best to be your strong partner for optical diode array spectroscopy.
