Spektralwerk Core SCPI Command Documentation

This is the official API documentation for the Spektralwerk 15 Core devices, a family of high-performance inline spectrometers. For information about the spectrometer itself, please refer to the product page.

Through this API you have access to every feature the spectrometers support, for both device configuration and signal retrieval.

The documentation you'll find here is mainly intended for custom development and systems integration. Please keep in mind that we also provide wrapper libraries to ease development, available here, so if you use one of the supported languages for development, you won't have to implement the protocol directly.

For desktop or lab usage we also provide Spectrotron, a GUI application developed on the basis of the API documented here.
