Software

MIRACLE™ SOFTWARE

The Miracle software package is designed specifically for the IR5 FTIR spectrometer with a focus on ease of use and smooth workflow. Miracle controls every aspect of your experiment, from instrument setup to data acquisition, analysis and reporting, ensuring intuitive operation at every step.

The Miracle package offers two user levels making it suitable to a wide range of applications. Standard user mode is optimal for analysis and teaching labs where routine experiments are carried out. Advanced user mode unlocks instrument configuration options and complex analysis functions, suitable for R&D and the most demanding applications.

Data analysis in Miracle is highly flexible: it is possible to undo or rearrange processing steps, so you can access the raw data and fine-tune your analysis. The software allows you to reapply apodization with a different function, for better comparison with other spectra.

Miracle Key Features

  • Selection of spectral resolution and wavenumber range
  • Live signal monitoring, single scan, kinetic series
  • Pre-programmed methods for repeating routine analysis
  • Advanced user mode for complex applications
  • Instrument validation wizards
  • User calibration
  • Data operations including choice of apodization, baseline subtraction, arithmetical operations, cropping, smoothing, interpolation, etc.
  • Comprehensive peak analysis wizard with a range of peak parameters and fitting algorithms
  • Photoluminescence measurement wizard included with FT-PL upgrade
  • User-configurable layout and data presentation
  • Export data into CSV, TXT
  • File format compatible with FTIR databases
