UniSpec
Our instruments for continuous measurement are dual detector spectrometers ( UniSpec DC, PP Systems, Amesbury MA ). Normally, we use them from mobile cart's on a robotic "tram system" but they can be hand-held or mounted on other platforms ( e.g. towers). Plans include implementation of a wireless link to the UniSpec to allow unattended operation.
MultiSpec
MultiSpec was developed by Dr. Faiz Rahman. This program is useful for processing UniSpec (.spu) and (.spt) files on the Windows© operating system.

Notes on different versions:
MultiSpec Version 4:
-This version was written exclusively by Dr. Faiz Rahman (currently at Ball State University).
-In addition, it has been extensively error checked.
-Output is in tab separated text files
MultiSpec Version 5: -Based on version 4 with different features, modified by Stan Houston
-Output is in comma delimited text files (smaller file sizes)
-Indices can be calculated from previously processed reflectance files
-Dual Channel UniSpec data can be corrected without the need for an external program (i.e. excel)
