AvaSoftX is the new generation of Avantes spectroscopy software. It supports the complete spectroscopy workflow, including instrument control, data acquisition, monitoring, and data analysis.
Built on the trusted AvaSoft foundation, AvaSoftX reorganizes functionality around how spectroscopy is performed in practice, making it easier to set up measurements, access advanced tools, and work efficiently across applications.
AvaSoftX is designed to improve clarity, usability, and consistency in spectroscopy workflows. Existing and new functionality is structured to be easier to find, easier to use, and easier to integrate into daily work.
The software supports a wide range of applications, from laboratory measurements to industrial and integrated system environments.
AvaSoftX will be available for purchase and downloading on April 15th
Key Features
AvaSoftX builds on everything users trust in AvaSoft, while introducing a new foundation designed to meet the demands of modern spectroscopy applications.
- Workflow-based mini apps:
AvaSoftX organizes functionality into dedicated mini apps, each focused on a specific measurement or analysis task. This structure aligns configuration, visualization, and analysis within a single workflow. - Guided measurements and onboarding:
Predefined configurations, step-by-step wizards, and integrated instruction videos support users in setting up measurements correctly and consistently. - Advanced analysis tools:
AvaSoftX provides direct access to advanced functionality, including LIBS and chemometric tools. Analytical features such as the periodic table are integrated into relevant workflows for improved accessibility. - Scripting and customization:
Python scripting in the TimeSeries mini app allows users to automate workflows, monitor custom variables, and adapt the software to specific application requirements. - Dark user interface:
The interface is designed for use in low-light environments, such as dark rooms and production settings. It reduces ambient light interference and supports comfortable long-term use. - Built-in documentation:
Manuals and help content are integrated directly into the software and organized for easy access during measurement and analysis.

Licensing
AvaSoftX uses a tiered licensing model based on available mini apps. All core functionality is available across license types. Licensing is directly linked to your spectrometer. When purchasing a device, the corresponding software access is automatically configured, so you can use the appropriate mini apps immediately.
The Basic license includes the following mini app: Spectrum
The Full license includes the following mini app: Spectrum, Time Series, Raman and LIBS mini app.
The All license includes all available mini apps:
Spectrum, Time Series, Color, ThinFilm, Irradiance, Raman, LIBS, and Chemometry.
Continuity of AvaSoft 8 (legacy)
The current AvaSoft software will remain available for use. Existing installations will continue to function as before, and users are not required to migrate. However, no new features or changes will be added to the legacy AvaSoft version. Future software development and functional expansion will take place exclusively within AvaSoftX in support of newer spectrometer models.
