SSP Dataq2 Data Acquisition Software

The freeware SSPDataq that ships with every SSP-4 and SSP-5 is only able to do B-V photometry. In order to use the U, R, and I filters, an expanded version of SSPDataq has been written and is now available as SSPDataq2. However, this version is not freeware but is sold as copyrighted and serial numbered software for $295.00.

The operation and use of the program is very much like SSPDataq but with many expanded features. Some of these include:

  • Ability to find extinction and transformation coefficients for all U, B, V, R and I filters
  • Easy to make script files to automate the data acquisition process
  • Users choice of using epsilon based on B-V or V-R in the calculation for standard V magnitude
  • Improved serial communications error handling
  • Day normal or night dark red screen color for SSPDataq2 control program

The package is available as a self installing executable file that can be e-mailed to your after purchase. File size is approximatley 2MB in compressed form. Updates are free to registered users on our Software Download web page.
