THE SOFTWARE
INTEGRATED INTO THE DEVICE · WINDOWS · MAC OS · LINUX
The Aura Hacker suite ships on the spectrometer's integrated drive — plug in, run, measure. The bits you watched race down the serial lanes on the front page land here: live capture, multi-point and factory calibration, peak detection, and publication-ready exports. Fully offline; your data never leaves your machine.
Where others rely on you calibrating yourself in open-source software with nearly no functionality — or expensive software with no training — Aura Hacker stands alone with software integrated into the hardware at no additional cost, upgrades for the entire product lifecycle, professional functionality, and integrated software training.

WHAT IT DOES
Live Capture
- Real-time spectrum, UV–NIR (device-dependent)
- Adjustable ROI with quick-draw & drag
- Black-reference subtraction · frame averaging
- Intensity %, or logarithmic scale
Calibration
- Multi-point wavelength calibration
- Factory NIST multi-gas calibration
- Linear, quadratic, cubic-spline, auto fits
- Per-gas accuracy verification, ±nm
Detection & Measurement
- Peak / trough detection, labels + table
- nm · eV · THz · Å · cm⁻¹ everywhere
- FWHM, centroid, CIE color & CCT
- Element ID against 43 NIST elements
Capture & Export
- XLSX & CSV with black-reference pixels
- Snap live view / plot / UI (PNG, BMP, JPG, TIFF)
- User Interface video with synchronized audio (MP4, AVI, MOV)
- HTML report generator
Advanced Analysis
- Absorption / transmission modes
- Spectrum compare · waterfall / heatmap
- Baseline correction · Savitzky-Golay smoothing
- Time integration · spectral math
Workspaces
