Gamma Scientific Introduces Powerful Software Interface for RS-5B Digital Light Source
SynthiColor(TM) software and RS-5B Digital Light Source form an integrated spectral programming and generation system
San Diego, Calif., November 13, 2006 - Gamma Scientific, a leading manufacturer
of light-measurement instrumentation, today introduced SynthiColor(TM) a sophisticated
software program that equips the Gamma Scientific RS-5B spectrally programmable
light source with easy-to-use interactive programmability and control.
SynthiColor harnesses the RS-5B's extensive spectral and colorimetric capabilities
into a single, fully interactive, Windows® application. The software provides
spectral synthesis, data handling and storage, spectral and colorimetric metrics,
as well as high-speed, matrix-optimization routines -- all with single point-and-click
simplicity that is both real-time and interactive. A comprehensive range of highly
accurate electro-optical measurements can be performed in minutes.
With SynthiColor it's easy to create user-defined spectrums, colors, and illuminants.
Spectrums can be created via simple Windows slider controls, or by importing
user-defined spectral data. Spectrums can be saved, recalled, displayed and
quantified with regard to their spectral and colorimetric characteristics. Individual
spectral profiles can be imported, matched and displayed using adjustable matching
and illuminant criteria.
SynthiColor enables the user to easily emulate a full range of natural or man-made
illuminants such as sunlight, lamps and other emissive materials. The user can
also create unusual spectral profiles not possible with ordinary lamps and produce
colors using calibrated radiometric and/or photometric power levels. Moreover,
spectral and/or colorimetric characteristics can be adjusted while maintaining
constant radiometric or photometric power. The software communicates directly
with any RS-5B source connected to the serial port of a host PC.
The RS-5B next-generation spectrally programmable digital light source provides
a versatile way to characterize the linearity and sensitivity of CCD and CMOS
cameras, components and sensors. The system delivers near-perfect linearity and
uniformity, giving the camera or sensor engineer/manufacturer an unparalleled
foundation with which to verify the quality and consistency of products.
Gamma Scientific is a leading manufacturer of precision light-measurement instruments,
including photometers and radiometers, spectroradiometers, digital light sources
and laser-power meters. The company also offers exacting calibrations, directly
traceable to NIST, in its optical-standards laboratory. For more information,
