Jens-Ulrich Fröhlich has written a Java-based graphical user interface for the Linear CCD module for Windows, and I must say I'm impressed. It has many of the features that I wanted to include in my early attempts at a GUI.

And it comes at just the right time. In this school year I will 'convince' my students to try and build their own spectrometers, so a Windows interface is greatly appreciated, as my nerdier students prefer this OS.

Take a look at his blog:
