RS3™ Spectral Acquisition Software

The remote sensing data acquisition and analysis software engineered for use with ASD spectroradiometers, with the added benefits of Ethernet and wireless functionality. The same look and feel as ASD’s RS2™, RS3™ Windows® friendly advanced features include GPS compatibility, setting's recollection upon start-up and shut-down of the application and easy to navigate menu’s which facilitate simple and convenient data collection for applications such as:

  • Atmospheric research
  • Forestry, ecology and plant physiology studies
  • Light energy measurements
  • Spectroradiometric calibrations


ASD's RS3™ Windows® compatible user interface software for data collection, averaging, storage and display of DN, reflectance, radiance or irradiance spectra in 'real-time'; and spectrum area, PPFD(Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density), and quantum intensity (QI) in post processing (optional radiometric calibrations required for radiance, irradiance, PPFD and QI are sold separately). To assure and maintain the most accurate data collection, RS3™ saves the displayed spectrum, not the current collected spectrum, meaning the user's final results will represent the most accurate data.
Some other features and benefits of the RS3™software include:

  • Ethernet, wireless and GPS compatibility
  • View up to five previous spectral scans while simultaneously collecting new spectra
  • Includes ViewSpec™Pro post-processing software
  • Reports saturation without interfering with workflow
  • Records both the reference and sample scan in a single file when collecting reflectance or transmission, which means the raw sample and reference scans can always be recovered, allowing for later processing or data correction.


The included ViewSpec™Pro software allows users to view, manipulate, plot and print collected spectra with easy to use, menu based navigatio
