About

MAPIR SCANNER

Features
Read full description

MAPIR DAQ-M modular spectroradiometer device is required. The MAPIR DAQ-M is an ultra compact Bluetooth (BLE) spectroradiometer designed as a modular unit that can be inserted into various housings to perform specific spectrum measurement functions. Housings include narrow angle of view versions designed for object reflectance measurements (field spectroradiometer) and wide angle of view versions for ambient light spectrum irradiance measurements (DLS: downwelling light sensor). While its size is compact, the features and performance is comparable to conventional industry equipment. The MAPIR SCANNER mobile application is required to view the live data stream from the MAPIR DAQ-M spectroradiometer, save the current live spectrum as well as configure the recording schedule to measure the spectrum over time. Measurements can be saved to the DAQ-M and extracted using the MAPIR SCANNER application. Once the measurements are saved to the mobile device they can be easily exported for further analysis and processing in MAPIR's software.
