Spectral Scanner
Spectroscopy acquisition app — live spectra, dark referencing, auto-integration, and batch export. Pilot app of the platform re-architecture.
A desktop spectroscopy application: live spectra from lab spectrometers, dark-reference subtraction, automatic integration-time control that servos toward device-derived targets, cursor and band measurements, comparison overlays, and batch export into the platform’s unified run layout.
The Spectral Scanner was chosen as the pilot app for the platform’s greenfield re-architecture, so its current incarnation is also the reference implementation of the shared framework: a pure analysis core, nine focused controllers replacing a 1,250-line god-controller, protocol-based hardware ports with a device-true mock spectrometer, and a UI wired 1:1 onto the framework. The rebuild shipped with over a hundred app tests, strict typing, and an enforced no-Qt boundary around the core — then survived a two-reviewer adversarial gate before being accepted as the template for every app that follows.
