Nowadays spectrometers are useful in many applications such as bio-medical technology
among other industrial fields. State of the art low-cost spectrometers are usually
equipped with linear photoelectric array detectors (line detectors). This thesis covers
part of the software development for a low-cost multichannel spectrometer using a
matrix detector instead of a linear array detector. The image acquisition including an
automatic integration time optimizer was implemented. Furthermore, algorithms for
data extraction and calibration were developed. Finally, the multi-channel-system with
the new software was compared with a high-resolution spectrometer and the results
were discussed
