The Creative Technology Liquid ID Spectrometer is a precision instrument that accurately identifies liquids that have been included in its database. The unit works by passing narrow wavelength reference signals through a liquid sample and comparing the measured readings with a database included in the system’s memory. Liquid samples must be placed in a test tube. The identification of the liquid occurs within a few seconds and displayed on the LCD screen. The unit is equipped with a USB port. The USB port has a number of features. The USB port is used to program the unit with new liquids to be added to the database. During normal operation of the unit the USB port outputs its results to a computer. It is not necessary to connect the unit to a computer using the USB port.
