Database for Atoms and Molecules
The integrated database contains information about atoms, ions and molecules. This database is 
frequently updated and therefore always current. The database’s modular structure allows you to design it 
to meet your unique requirements, often saving you time and money. It is also possible to obtain an 
extension of the database or an update of the latest data.
SpecLine offers a search engine for individual investigations independent from spectral data. Therefore, 
information about atoms, ions and molecules is at your fingertips.
Evaluating and Comparing Spectral Data
SpecLine offers many evaluation functions especially for spectral data, which are necessary to evaluate 
and process measured data. These functions include data smoothing, peak value and integral value 
function, and several calibration functions. 
For a comparison of different spectra, up to twelve spectra can be open in one diagram even with different 
file formats. The spectra can be adjusted in wavelength and signal to compare the data easily.
SpecLine supports most customary file formats of spectroscopic data acquisition programs, such as 
ASCII, binary, OOIBase, DaVis, GRAMS, 4SPEC, MAPS. AvaSoft, and the SpecLine format. Processed 
and changed spectra can be saved as SpecLine, Excel (CSV), ASCII or binary files. For presentations 
several export filters are available including Windows Bitmap (BMP) format, Windows Metafile (WMF) 
format, and Corel Presentations (WPG) format.
SpecLine allows you to perform the whole evaluation of spectral data in a single program environment 
while eliminating file handling. You can read and evaluate spectral data, find peaks, identify lines, and 
then create a professional presentation of the data.
