Essential FTIR Feature Comparison Chart

  • 'Viewer':
    • Allows viewing of all supported file and library types.
    • View spectra with an unlimited number of windows and spectra per window.
    • Spectral viewing allows visual comparison of spectra in overlay, superimpose and stack modes.
    • Spectral display includes interactive expand, zoom and roll.
    • Print spectra using customizable templates.
  • 'Core' includes:
    • All Viewer features.
    • The most used analysis routines such as Peak Picking, Integration, Library Search and QC Compare.
    • Saving of indvidual files in any of the supported formats for saving data.
    • Unit conversions between Absorbance / Transmittance, and Wavenumbers / Wavelengths.
  • 'Complete' extends the Core version with:
    • All spectral manipulation functions such as Baseline Correction, FFT, Smoothing, Derivative, etc.
    • Batch file conversion of file formats. One click can convert entire directories.
    • The ability to automate repetitive tasks with easy to create Batch Processing sequences.
    • The ability to run custom Python scripts.
    • Data editing and spectral synthesis such as averaging and adding spectra.
  • 'Collector'

A checkmark checkmark indicates the feature is included in that version.
