Optec, Inc.
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 2 MBytes in
compressed form. Updates are free to registered users on our Software Download
web page.
