Recommended for long experiments.
Applied Photophysics has two useful youtube videos regarding this technique and instrument. Here are the links:

There are links on the Desktop of the CD computer to local versions of these files.

Spectragryph is a very useful freeware (academic use) that can open cvs files generated by the APL Data Converter. If you’re a Bath user, go to “Secure Downloads” to download it. Works on all Windows versions and on Mac OS X with PlayOnMac (if you need the latter ask Dan).
