2 DATA RECORDING MODES This guide provides first-time users with essential information on recording data with the Specim IQ. Main setup information, different data recording flows and essential after recording phases will be presented. This page introduces White Reference and different data recording modes. WHITE REFERENCE To ensure a good data quality and maximal performance of your Specim IQ, you must always include White Reference () in your data recording flow. Three different methods are presented in this guide, Simultaneous, Customized and Pre-Defined. DRM ASM Default Recording Mode (DRM) is a device mode to collect raw, unprocessed data. Below is a visualization of the data recording flow with DRM and Simultaneous. Automatic Screening Mode (ASM) is a device mode to identify similarities from the recorded data. The desired material can be chosen to function as a class that can classify similiar materials from the data. In this mode, the class is first defined and then used for identification. Below is a visualization of the data recording flow with ASM and Simultaneous. panel Simult. Custom panel is included and defined from the recorded data. panel is recorded before the actual data recording. AM Application Mode (AM) is a created mode to collect data which is processed in a desirable way. Applications are created in the Specim IQ Studio. Below is a visualization of the data recording flow with AM and Simultaneous. Pre-def. Preset settings to match the most common recording environment illuminations.

3 1. SETUP OPERATING MODES 1. INSERT BATTERY Slide the lock down to release the battery compartment door. 3. MOUNT THE SPECIM IQ ON A TRIPOD Attach the tripod s camera plate to the tripod mount, located at the base of the Specim IQ. Tripod Insert the battery in the orientation shown, terminals first. Recommended mode of operation Hand held 2. MEMORY CARD See the memory card is in it s place next to the battery. If you wish to change the memory card, slide the memory card in as shown, terminals towards the back of the device. Slide until it clicks into place. 4. ILLUMINATION Make sure that the data recording target area is illuminated correctly. See the recommended lighting sources in the User Manual. SEE THE MANUAL Note that the Smart Camera should be stable while recording data. Tip Specim IQ can also be powered by external power source. Find out more in User Manual!

4 2. DATA RECORDING DRM Simult. This data recording flow uses Default Recording Mode (DRM) and Simultaneous White Reference method. In this method the panel is included in the recorded data and defined after the recording. 1. POWER ON Press the Power button to switch the Specim IQ on. Power button should be pressed for 2-3 seconds until you hear a signal. 2. DEVICE SETUP 2.1. Press the SET button to go to the Menu Choose DRM mode by pressing the Custom 1 button.

Use the intesity slider on the right to help select the correct area. Tap the on the touch screen, or select it with the navigation buttons. Choose SET on the screen when done. 4. CAPTURE THE DATA Fully press the shutter button to record the data. 5. VALIDATE THE DATA Validate and check the data quality from the image preview and the intensity histograms. If there are red highlight areas in the image preview and in the maximum intensity histogram, the data is partly saturated. In this case consider changing the integration time shorter from the data recording settings and repeating the data recording. If there are blue highlights in the maximum intensity histogram the integration time NOTE: By pressing DISCARD, your data will not be saved. might be too short and some parts of the data are not illuminated properly. In this case consider changing the integration time longer. By pressing DISCARD you can redo your DRS setup and record the data again. By pressing KEEP, your data will be saved. 7. THE RESULT VIEW The result view has three functions that are located in the upright corner. Target spectrum By tapping a certain area, you can see the spectrum of that pixel. Tags You can add tags to the data or to the targeted pixels of the data. Data info See info about your data, delete datasets and add additional text information. SEE THE MANUAL
