UniSpec-DC Spectral Analysis System Trusted and tested technology The UniSpec-DC is a dual channel (VIS/NIR), portable instrument capable of unattended, simultaneous measurement of incident and reflected light under any sky conditions including clouds. It is a truly self contained system that does not require a separate PC for operation. High Precision Detectors System Features For Use In: The heart of the UniSpec-DC are two high precision, • High precision spectrometers • Plant Physiology & Ecology synchronized, miniature photodiode array detectors that feature high sensitivity, repeatability and long • Range: 310-1100 nm (VIS/NIR) • Carbon transport and water quality term calibration stability. It is compact, sensitive • No recalibration required to light and insensitive to external influences • Rapid measurement • Forestry (i.e. temperature) making it an ideal unit for field (< 1 second) • Field crop monitoring applications. The design of the detectors allow for • Lightweight (2.0 kg) • Remote sensing full spectrum (310-1100 nm) measurements in less • Field portable • Ground truthing than 1 second. • Rugged aluminum enclosure • Atmospheric science Portability with field carrying case • Aquatic plants A built-in, rechargeable 7.2V Li-Ion battery provides • Flexible foreoptic interface power to the entire system. Typically, a fully charged • Powerful user interface battery will ensure up to 10 hours of continuous and software operation in the field. An optional battery pack • Unlimited data storage (external) is also available for extended operation • GPS capability in the field. Wide Range Of Accessories Irradiance Sensor A wide selection of accessories are available for use with the UniSpec-DC including fiber optics, FOV lens, cosine receptor, external battery pack and reference standards. Let PP Systems configure a system that is ideal for your application. User Interface Canopy Sensor Unlike other remote sensing instruments, the UniSpec-DC features an innovative, ergonomic Remote sensing Ground truthing system console designed specifically for demanding field conditions. It has a built-in user interface including integral computer, large, full color graphical LCD optimized for field use, keyboard and touchpad for user inputs, RS232 and USB interface and PCMCIA slot for unlimited data storage.
