ABSTRACT:
Spectral bands are grouped for data acquisition in a spectrophotometer with a charge-coupled detector having a plurality of pixels. Preliminary data is generated on time-integrated radiation to the pixels for a sample. Maximum permitted exposure times for the pixels are calculated from the data and a predetermined maximum exposure. The maximum times are grouped so that for each group the ratio of the highest to the lowest maximum times is less than 100. A group run time is established for each group nominally less than the lowest maximum time in the group. Subgroups are created and ordered so that accumulated readout times for the pixels are less than wait times established to prevent readout contamination from subsequent charge buildup. The spectrophotometer is further operated on the sample for the run time of each group and subgroup to generate spectral data.
