Hi, Thomas - I'm bumping this to the spectrometry discussion list. Which SVGs did you want? I (or someone else on the list perhaps) can convert them to PDF. Which page are you looking at where you see two slits? Hope we can help. 

Best,

Jeff

I seemed to be overwhelmed with all the information on your WEB site.  I have a webcam and would like to build my own spectrometer.  I attempted to download the .svg files and discovered there is no reader for them.  I also tried the Adobe .svg reader which was a total failure.  What size slits do you recommend, in the picture I see two of them.  My browser is Google Chrome.  How do I download the spectrum tool.  How do I set it up and actually use it?

 

Can you provide a little assistance as where to start? I find myself totally lost with your WEB site.

 

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Do you perhaps mean .pdf and not .svg? It's normally no problem to read pdf files on any modern PC and the free Adobe reader is what a lot of people use to do it. SVG file are vector graphics files and are normally used by vector graphics editors like Inkscape.

Spectral Workbench is currently a web based application that runs in your browser - go to the publiclab.org site home page and select - Data - Spectral Workbench. SW should run just fine in Chrome (you do run the periodic updates for Chrome?).
There was originally a stand alone version of Spectral Workbench and the source code for that is still available for download. However compiling it and getting it to run is very difficult.
