What I'm hearing is that these microcontroller standalone devices
don't give any feedback on the reading process. Couldn't they be more
tightly coupled to a PC so the raw data could be displayed immediately
and analyzed reasonably quickly? Certainly they could send all
the samples over USB quite quickly?
"Reasonably quickly" is a relative term. I've got samples here that I
had to cogitate over for a year.
Admittedly, these were items that were sui generis, but "quickly" was
not in the picture. Perhaps with some choice pharmaceuticals, my
thinking speed could be improved, but I haven't explored that yet.
You know--you get a disk that's thought to contain some information, the
identity of the originating system is unknown; no Rosetta stones to be seen.
For my purposes, clearly defined spectral peaks are the critical
thing--and that's done on my MCU implementation.
