METHOD FOR CONFIGURING A SPECTROMETRY DEVICE

The invention relates to a method (1) for configuring a target spectrometry device by means of a reference spectrometry device, each spectrometer comprising a light source and a detector that is suitable for detecting the light radiation emitted by the source and reflected or transmitted by an object, thus generating spectral measurements, the spectral measurements comprising a series of n spectra for each object and an average spectrum measured for each series of spectra, the method comprising the steps of: - acquiring (10) reference spectral measurements for a set of reference samples with the reference spectrometer and storing the spectral measurements in a reference database; - acquiring (12) target spectral measurements for a sub-set of reference samples with the target spectrometer and storing the spectral measurements in a target database; - determining (14) an average spectrum sS for each reference sample from the reference and target spectral measurements; - determining (16) a series of n spectra si (i = 1...n) for each average spectrum sS, this comprising steps of determining an optical transfer function of the target spectrometer and of applying the optical transfer function to each average spectrum measured by the reference spectrometer; and - storing (18) the average spectrum and the series of n spectra of each reference sample in the target database, wherein the determining steps (14, 16) are carried out by means of a computing module. The invention also relates to a spectrometry device (100) configured using the method (1) according to the invention.
