Yes, you can collect a series of full wavelength spectra using Logger Pro. Spectral Analysis cannot yet perform this function.
In Logger Pro, you can capture data sequentially or episodically in Intensity, Absorbance or Fluorescence modes. This is a very useful when doing a flame test where the emission spectra may be transitory in nature. It is also useful if you are trying to collect absorbance or fluorescence spectra at specific time intervals.
Make sure you have correctly setup Logger Pro for this type of data collection:
1) Make sure you have set your preferences to Automatically Store Runs (From the File menu select Preferences and check Automatically Store Runs)
2) From the spectrometer settings dialog, note the Sample Time (If you are in absorbance mode, the sample time is predetermined by the calibration. If you are in fluorescence or emission mode, the sample time is whatever you set it to in order to get an appropriate signal). Use the sample time to calculate how long it will take you to get to the desired interval between spectra.
3) Click on the data collection icon or select Data Collection from the Experiment drop down menu. You should be in Full Spectrum Mode. Set the number of samples between when you’d like it to store runs. If you are doing flame tests, you’ll want this value to be 1. If you are collecting spectra at specific time intervals, you’ll want to calculate this value from the Sample Time (see #2).
4) Click collect and the spectrometer will begin storing spectra. The spectra will be plotted and you will see the data populate the Data Table. (If you are performing a flame test, one of the stored samples should capture the spectra from your flame test.)
