- Description
- Amendment 2: Questions and Answers: Question: +Is there a maximum size footprint? This hasn't been specified directly, but it should be considered portable and should be able to be easily repositioned by a single person without tools or lifting aids. Question: Will the unit be used concurrently with the instrument under test? Yes. Question: Does the detector array need to be cooled directly? We use a setup where the entire housing of the spectrometer is temperature stabilized. The specification requires direct control of the array. Question: Does the diffuser need to have 2pi sr FOV? We are considering including it in our foreoptics and precisely measuring it's distance to a reference point on the front of the foreoptics for the irradiance measurements. Typically the range is slightly less than 2pi in that the diffuser is a bit recessed. Anything different from that is not what is being requested. Question: What is the minimum distance the foreoptics need to be from the spectrograph? In other words, how long would they like the fiber to be? 1 meter fiber is requested. Question: Are polarizers in the foreoptics (rotatable in and out of the fov) a desirable option? Presence of removable polarizers will not violate spec, as long as instrument performance is in no way affected. Question: What computer platforms are anticipated to be used? Windows XP, Windows 7. Question: Does the control software need to be labview? We use open source python for control interface. If sufficient support is provided such that the python code can be modified as described in the spec, then this is technically acceptable. We do intend to interface with LabVIEW, and this is preferred.
