About NeoSpectra-Scanner

NeoSpectra-Scanner is a portable and handheld spectral sensing device that can be used in

a wide variety of material sensing applications. It shines light that interacts with the sample

to be measured, collects its diffuse reflectance, and generates NIR spectra that corresponds

to the spectral response of the material in the spectral range (1,350 - 2,500 nm). The

scanner enables the development of in-field material analysis applications in various

industries.

About this guide

If you are using NeoSpectra-Scanner for the first time, this guide is your reference on what

the different parts of NeoSpectra-Scanner are, what they are used for, and how to use them.

1 Box Components

A. NeoSpectra - Scanner: The main spectra collection device with NeoSpectra sensor

inside (Figure 1).

B. Scanner Cover: It is a protection for the optical window that should be placed on top

of the scanner when it is not being used. To do this, just place the cover on top of the

scanner, and it will be magnetically fixed. The cover also includes the white reference

material for background measurements. To avoid losing the cover, make sure to use

the lanyard to attach the cover to the scanner.

C. Scanner Sample Holder: It is provided to facilitate the measurement of some types

of samples like soil, feed, powders,...etc, however the scanner can be used without it.

It is magnetically attached to the scanner cover and needs to be detached from it

when used (Figure 2). The sample holder can be magnetically attached and aligned

on the scanner top surface to hold the sample during scanning.

D. Scanner power adapter: An AC / DC adapter dedicated to NeoSpectra - Scanner

with a USB connection. The adapter shouldn’t be used with other USB devices due

to its high DC voltage output. It also comes with a power plug converter for users

located in the USA. Refer to section 3 for more details about the adapter usage.

2 Scanner User Interface

2.1 Scan and Power Buttons

The scanner main functionality is controlled by the scan and power buttons as summarized

in the table below.

Power Button Functionality

Scan Button Functionality

1. A short press turns on the scanner, if

it’s powered off.

2. A long press turns the scanner off.

3. With the scanner powered on, a short

press on the power button will re-

initiate the Bluetooth advertising (refer

to section 5.3 for more details)

1. A short press is used to take material

scans.

2. A long press identifies the scan as a

background reference scan.

Refer to section 5.1 and 5.4 for more details

about the usage of the Scan button.

2.2 Scanner USB port

The scanner USB port is used for battery charging only. It is shown in Figure 4. To start the

battery charging, plug in the adapter in the USB port and power on the scanner. Note that

charging will not start if the scanner is powered off. USB user data transfer is not

supported in the Alpha samples.

The number shown indicates the number of stored scans on the scanner local storage out of

999 scans.

2.3.2 Battery status area

The battery status area shows the remaining battery capacity and indicates whether the

charger is connected or not as illustrated in Figure 6 a & b.

2.3.3 Bluetooth status area

The Bluetooth status area shows the state of the BLE connectivity of the device. It is either

advertising, connected or disconnected (Figure 7 a, b, c). The details of the 3 states are

described in section 5.3.

Figure 7 BLE status area during different connection states

2.3.4 Messages area

The messages area displays all the user interface data about the current scan. It shows

whether the scan being taken is a white reference scan or a material scan and it also shows

a progress bar for the scanning process Figure 8 (a) and (b). It indicates when the scan is

completed successfully Figure 8 (c) or if there was an error with the last scan Figure 8 (d). A

detailed list of error messages is shown in section 7.

3 Powering Up the Scanner

3.1 Charger / Battery Powered Operation

NeoSpectra - Scanner is powered by two user replaceable 18650 batteries with 3400 mAh

nominal capacity. The batteries are readily installed in the device for out-of-the-box

operation. The scanner also comes with a dedicated 15 V / 2.4 A AC / DC adapter capable

of powering the scanner to charge and scan simultaneously irrespective of the battery

status.

The scanner can still be charged using a standard 5 V USB charger, however in that case

scanning during charging will only be available if the battery is sufficiently charged. It’s

important to note that the power adapter provided with the scanner must not be used with

other standard USB devices due to its high voltage output, otherwise these devices will be

damaged.

3.2 Battery Replacement

The scanner batteries can be replaced by unscrewing the 4 screws in the battery cover at

the bottom of the scanner below the rubber pads to remove the battery cover. The process is

illustrates in Figure 9. It’s important to note that when the battery is replaced or removed

from the device the charger must be connected to the scanner before powering it up again

for the first time after the batteries are placed back.

4 Sample Interfacing

The scanner industrial design allows for multiple usage models in terms of sample

interfacing. The sample can be placed on top of the scanner or the scanner can be placed

on top of the sample or it can be used in a point and shoot mode. The different sample

interfacing schemes are illustrated in the following sections. In all cases, the user must

ensure that the sample is in contact with the scanner window.

4.1 Sample above the Scanner

●Set the scanner on a flat surface.

●Place the sample on top of the scanner with the provided sample holder (Figure 10 a)

or directly without it using any NIR-transparent container (Figure 10 b).

4.2 Point & Shoot

●Hold scanner in hand.

●Point and shoot at the sample while ensuring that the scanner window is pressed

against the sample.
