SSPDataq2 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
