This single unit manages both the tungsten flat lamp and the Neon\/Argon calibration lamp, eliminating vibration and the need to physically access the instrument during an imaging session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-bg-light\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e2-Lamp Remote Control for Your Lhires III\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spox module is the ideal accessory for automating your Lhires III data acquisition. It independently controls the two essential lamps required for professional-grade spectra: the tungsten lamp for flat-field frames and the Neon\/Argon lamp for precise wavelength calibration. A red LED on the unit provides an immediate visual warning if one of the spectrograph's lamps is faulty, saving you from failed calibration runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-bg-light\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e2-Mode Control: Manual Push-Button or Full ASCOM Integration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spox is designed for flexibility, whether you are in the field or in a permanent observatory. For quick, computer-free operation, you can trigger each lamp using dedicated push-buttons directly on the box. For automated sequences, connect the Spox to your Windows or Linux computer via USB to use Shelyak's dedicated software or, more importantly, the ASCOM driver to integrate lamp control directly into your preferred imaging software.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-bg-light\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e0.8m Cable for Direct Lhires III Connection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis kit is specifically configured for the Lhires III spectrograph.
