Only getting color at top of image

by BrentNewhall on January 5, 2013 - 10:55

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions on my "black image only" spectrometer! Turns out the DVD-R piece I received was damaged.

I've now used a fresh piece of DVD-R, and while I'm getting a lovely rainbow of colors, it's only at the top of the image. Spectral Workbench can't seem to use it; it only sees the blue bar in the middle of the image.

I assume I need to move something inside the spectrometer, but what?

Thanks!

Hi, Brent! You can choose a custom row-height to collect data from your image by using "Set sample row" under "More tools". If that works, could you add this to the FAQ page? Thanks!!

Thanks so much, warren! I'll try this as soon as I can, and will definitely update the FAQ if it works.
