During the last months we have implemented a lot of hardware related functions in CODE. Powerful script commands can be used to perform automated optical measurements. Trigger objects can execute actions based on obtained values of spectrometers, optical sensors or motors.

We have now opened a connection to the outside industrial world by adding OPC clients (available in the list of spectrometers). A client automatically connects to a server and retrieves a parameter value at a user-defined rate. The value is available as optical function and can be used in trigger conditions. This way CODE actions can be triggered externally.

A typical application is triggering spectrum recording based on the position of a product in a production line.
