AvaSoft-FOM has been written to integrate the Fiber Optic Multiplexer with a one channel AvaSpec spectrometer. A single spectrometer can be used to measure at 8 different locations sequentially.
AvaSoft-FOM includes all features of AvaSoft-full.
The software simulates an environment of one master and seven slave spectrometers, and repositions the multiplexer before each new measurement. At present, the maximum number of channels supported by AvaSoft-FOM is eight, as this is the current channel limit of AvaSoft.
For applications where the multiplexer is used without an AvaSpec or when custom-specific software is written, the FOM-DLL interface software package is available.
AvaSoft-FOM and the Fiber Optic Multiplexer can be used with all AvaSpec-USB1 platform spectrometers. Multiplexing spectrometer channels is particularly for the AvaSpec-NIR256 spectrometer a very interesting option, to reduce cost for a multi-channel version.
