THE FEATURES

35 CAPABILITIES · 15 ANALYSIS TOOLS · 11 WORKSPACES · 43 NIST ELEMENTS

Everything on this page ships with every spectrometer — the complete suite, fully unlocked, fully offline. From the first live frame to the finished report, Aura Hacker is one continuous instrument: capture, calibrate, detect, analyze, export. Professional capability at an accessible price.

LIVE CAPTURE

Live Spectral Imaging

  • Real-time spectrum extracted from the live sensor feed
  • Adjustable sample rate, frame averaging, and exposure
  • High-sensitivity monochrome mode on supported instruments
  • Device-agnostic: works with a range of spectrometer hardware

Region of Interest

  • Draw the ROI directly on the live feed
  • Drag corners to resize, drag the center to reposition
  • ROI zoom magnifies any area of the sensor feed
  • The plot follows every adjustment instantly

The Spectrum Plot

  • Wavelength vs. intensity with true spectral color fill
  • Linear percent or logarithmic (dB) intensity scale
  • Live readouts track the cursor across the trace
  • Peak labels rendered directly on the plot

CALIBRATION

Factory NIST Calibration

  • Multi-tube gas-discharge calibration against 11 elemental gases
  • Linear, quadratic, cubic-spline, and auto fits
  • Per-gas accuracy verification with ±nm reporting
  • Ships on the instrument, ready to measure on day one

Your Own Calibrations

  • Multi-point wavelength calibration in minutes
  • Save, load, and switch calibration files freely
  • Calibrations live with the instrument and survive updates

Signal Integrity

  • Dark-reference integration builds an averaged noise map
  • Radiometric correction for true relative intensities
  • Second-order diffraction filter removes grating ghosts

DETECTION & MEASUREMENT

Peak & Trough Detection

  • Automatic detection with user-definable characteristics
  • On-plot labels plus a full results table
  • Watch peak position, height, and width as you measure

Element Identification

  • Match detected peaks against 43 NIST element databases
  • Molecular signatures alongside atomic lines
  • Ranked candidate matches with line-by-line evidence

15 Analysis Tools

  • FWHM, spectral centroid, CIE color & CCT
  • Color matching with Delta-E
  • Baseline correction · Savitzky-Golay smoothing
  • Spectral math: add, subtract, divide, normalize

Unit Converter

  • nm · Ångström · cm⁻¹ · eV · THz
  • Bidirectional and instant
  • Units switch everywhere: plot, peaks, exports

ANALYSIS

Absorption & Transmission

  • Intensity, absorbance, and transmission display modes
  • Reference capture with one click
  • Beer-Lambert analysis for concentration work

Spectrum Compare

  • Overlay the live spectrum against saved references
  • Difference, percent change, and peak-shift readouts
  • Export the comparison to CSV

Waterfall / Heatmap

  • Time-series visualization of spectral change
  • Heatmap and waterfall display modes
  • Watch reactions, warm-ups, and drift unfold

Integration & Kinetics

  • Accumulate frames with hold for a stronger signal
  • Kinetics mode tracks up to 6 wavelengths over time
  • Built for weak sources and slow processes

ADVANCED TOOLS

Raman Shift Mode

  • Wavenumber-shift axis relative to your excitation laser

Thin-Film Thickness

  • Interference-fringe analysis in transmission or reflection
  • Estimates film thickness from fringe spacing

Calibration Curve Builder

  • Measure a series of known-concentration standards
  • Regression fit, then quantify unknowns

Pass / Fail Quality Control

  • Up to 6 configurable test types per inspection
  • Peak presence, thresholds, ranges, spectral match
  • Objective, repeatable quality decisions

Data-Logging Monitor

  • Up to 8 wavelength channels tracked simultaneously
  • Runs unattended, from hours to days

Library & Import

  • Save spectra to a local library with tags and notes
  • Import CSV, TSV, and JCAMP-DX files

CAPTURE & EXPORT

Snap & Record

  • Still capture of the UI, live view, or plot (PNG / BMP / JPG / TIFF)
  • Session video with synchronized narration (MP4 / AVI / MOV)
  • Document an experiment exactly as it happens

Data Export

  • XLSX and CSV with full wavelength and intensity columns
  • Machine-readable JSON report with peaks and statistics
  • Your data, your files, no cloud required

Reports & Automation

  • HTML report generator with plots, peaks, and metadata
  • Automated capture sequences at timed intervals
  • From measurement to shareable report in one sitting
