With OMNIC Picta installed, OMNIC Specta program crashes when doing the spectral interpretation and during the multi component search.

If OMNIC Specta was run as administrator, the program name displayed is "MainApplication".

When using the Open Spectrum icon in the toolbar, no spectra are shown even though it is supposed to show the specified spectra directory.

The spectrum information for some instruments was not included in the spectrum header. This has been resolved.

Spectra from the updated Hummel library were displayed with an incorrect scale. The scale issue has been resolved.

OMNIC Specta has been revised to import multiple types of spectral files in the spectral file indexer and in File → Open.

The Send To OMNIC button has been disabled if OMNIC is not installed.

This has been modified to not interfere with OMNIC or PICTA control of the IN10. The collect feature for this instrument is disabled in Specta.

OMNIC Specta has been tested and is approved for Microsoft Windows 8.1.

OMNIC Specta has been tested and is approved for Microsoft Windows 10. Added in September 2016.

Some spectra in the library were not accessible. This has been corrected.

Print button in spectral information will now start a print operation.

Specta → Report → Report Setup → Page Setup and Windows Print → Properties settings may be in conflict. This can result in the wrong paper size or the output not filling the selected paper as expected. To work around this issue, both must be setup for the same page size.

With OMNIC Picta installed, OMNIC Specta program crashes when doing the spectral interpretation and during the multi component search.

Raman data is now supported with this version of software.

Data can now be acquired using a Nicolet iS10 or Nicolet 6700 spectrometer or a Nicolet iZ10 module attached to a Nicolet iS10 or to a Nicolet iN10 microscope. A subset of the OMNIC experimental parameters can be set in OMNIC Specta, while others are set as default to help make collection simpler and easy to use.

The Collect Dashboard can be accessed from the upper toolbar. The Collect Dashboard contains Preview Collect, Sample Collection, Stop Collection, Background Collect and System Status icons to launch Collect services. The dashboard can be accessed easily from anywhere in the application and collection can be finishing as other parts of the application are being used.

Use Contaminant Search to identify unknown contaminants in a sample when the major component is known. You can include the entire sample spectrum in the search or just certain spectral regions. You can also specify the maximum number of contaminants to find.

Now data can be displayed in Offset, Stack and Terrain view along with Overlay view. Just use the right-click menu to select another display.

New videos are provided on the Home page for an OMNIC Specta Overview, a Getting Started Video and additional videos to help you understand Manage, Collect, Process, Identify (Overview and Mixture) and Report features.

Step-by-step directions on how to perform many functions while viewing the software are provided in many areas of the software.

Data processing now includes an option to suppress atmospheric artifacts.

File formats listed below can be accessed and used in OMNIC Specta 2.0 software:

Table sizes and column show/hide functionality are now available features when adding tabular information such as search results to a report.

New options are available for selecting color schemes in OMNIC Specta.

Showing and hiding the workspace pane and the result pane are now managed from tabs on the right side of the windows instead of using the Up and Down black arrows used in version 1.0.

The multiple select feature (check mark) in the Data Tray files has now been removed from the software. This functionality was confusing to use and understand.

Background spectra can now be viewed from the Sample Information dialog.

Favorite names can now be updated after creation.

Adding large numbers of spectra or libraries to a favorite works much better in this version.

Additional right click options are available in the software to Send Spectra to be used as references during Subtraction and to use as the contaminant in the Contaminant Search Identify feature.

Multi-component search now shows a progress bar.

When you select a library, the display no longer jumps hiding the green "Go" arrow.

Button bar options now remain each time the OMNIC Specta application is open.

Baseline correction has been improved to allow for easier manual and automatic correction.

Data can be exported from OMNIC Specta to OMNIC and OMNIC for Dispersive Raman. OMNIC 8.0 or higher will work for sending spectra back and forth between applications and OMNIC for Dispersive Raman 8.1 or higher will allow for sending Raman spectra back and forth between the applications. OMNIC and OMNIC for Dispersive Raman software versions prior to 8.0 and 8.1 respectively do not support this option.

Adobe® Acrobat® 9.0 is now supported in OMNIC Specta version 2.0.

If spectra in a library or favorite are unchecked to skip in searching, they are now removed from the search results. In the previous version these spectra could still be reported in the search hit list.

Table sizes and column show/hide functionality are now available features when adding tabular information such as search results to a report.

An error is now returned when using the Knowledge Base feature without having installed Adobe Reader.

Specta DS now shows spectra in Open Dialog from OMNIC 8 DS.

Identify Spectral Search results now match the results reported in OMNIC.

Only one version of each spectrum can be accessible from the Data Tray.

All icons and options are now localizable.

A right click option is now available to removed points from the baseline.

Interpret display now shows all green blocks in Absorbance and %Transmittance.

My Data "Folders on Disk" now updates when a spectrum is deleted.

Multi-component search now returns the correct match values when using an spg file as a reference.

To sign user libraries please use the OMNIC application features in Library Manager.

Windows Notification: "Data Execution Prevention has closed TeIndexer"

There is a known issue with the Microsoft Windows "Data Execution Prevention" feature on Vista which can cause this message to appear.

The message is meaningless and can be ignored. Contrary to the message the TeIndexer application will continue to run and function normally. Microsoft is aware of this problem in Vista; refer to article KB948468 for details.

Some older versions of Jasco and Bruker spectra are not recognized by Specta.

There is a known issue with some older versions of Jasco and Bruker spectrum files that prevents Specta from using these files.

This feature will require OMNIC for Dispersive Raman version 8.1 or higher.

Some of the older format readers do not function on Windows 7 64-bit systems. When the Specta indexer encounters this situation, Windows displays an "Unsupported 16-bit Application" message. Until new readers are available, the old spectrum files should be moved to a folder the Specta indexer will not attempt to read.

With OMNIC Picta installed, OMNIC Specta program crashes when doing the spectral interpretation and during the multi component search.
