NIR-Predictor Download

The free NIR-Predictor software

  • comes with demo data, so you can predict sample spectra with demo calibrations.
  • has no functional limitations, no nagging, no ads and needs no license-key.
  • you need no account and no registration to download and use.
  • runs on Microsoft Windows 11 / 10 / 8 / 7 (Starter, Basic, Professional) (32 bit / 64 bit).
  • no data is ever transmitted from your local machine. We don't even collect usage data.

Beside the free NIR-Predictor software with Windows user interface,
the real-time Predictor Engine is also available

  • for embedded integration in application, cloud and instrument-software (ICT).
  • As a light-weigt single library file (DLL)
    with application programming interface (API),
    documentation and software development kit (SDK)
    including sample source code (C#).
  • Easy integration and deployment,
    no software license protection (no serial key, no dongle).
  • Put your spectrum as an array into the multivariate predictor,
    no specific file format needed.
  • Fast prediction speed and low latency
    because of compiled code library (direct call, no cloud API).
  • Protected prediction results with outlier detection information.

By downloading and/or using the software
you accept the Software License Agreement (EULA)

3.7 MB02.02.2026public release

System Requirements
Microsoft Windows 11 / 10 / 8 / 7 (Starter, Basic, Professional) (32 bit / 64 bit).
Minimal: Windows 7 Starter 32Bit, 1.6 GHz, 2 GB RAM, non-Administrator account.

Installation
There are no administrator rights required,
unpack the zip file to a folder "NIR-Predictor" in your documents or on your desktop.
Read the ReadMe.txt and double click the NIR-Predictor.exe file.

Upgrade
If you have installed an older version of NIR-Predictor then unpack into a different folder named e.g. "NIR-PredictorVx.y".
All versions can run side-by-side. Copy the Calibrations in use to the new version into the "Calibration" folder. That's all.

Uninstall
Make sure to backup your reports and calibrations inside your "NIR-Predictor" folder.
Delete the "NIR-Predictor" folder.

New: NIR-Predictor V2.6 with new features

The new Version of the free NIR-Predictor
supports GRAMS .SPC, CSV, JCAMP and multiple native file formats
of miniature, mobile and desktop spectrometers
get your spectra analyced as easy as Drag’n’Drop.

Spectra Plots and Histograms on the Prediction Report
  • NIR-Predictor is an easy to use NIR software for all NIR devices
    to produce quantitative results out of NIR data.

  • CalibrationModel Service provides development of
    customized calibrations out of NIR and Lab data.

  • It allows to use NIR with your own customized
    models without the need of Chemometric Software!

  • We do the Machine Leraning for your NIR-Spectrometer
    and with the free NIR-Predictor you are
    able to analyze new measured samples.

  • For NIR-Vendors we also offer the
    Software Development Kit (SDK) for OEM Predictor use
    via the Application Programming Interface (API).
    Think of a sencod predictor engine,
    as a second heart in your system.

Key Features of NIR-Predictor

  • Super flexible prediction with automatic file format detection
  • Support for many mobile and desktop NIR Spectrometers file format
  • Application concept allows to group multiple Calibrations together for an Application
  • Prediction Report shows Histogram Charts of the tabulated prediction results
  • Sample based Properties File Creator for combining NIR and Lab reference data
  • Checked creation of a single file Calibration Request

Super flexible prediction

Loads multiple files at once in

  • different file-formats and …
  • different wave-ranges and wave-resolutions and …
  • predicts each spectrum with all compatible calibrations and …
  • merges the results in a report and …
  • saves the report as HTML.

It allows you to

  • comparing measurements
  • compare different calibrations
  • compare different spectrometers,
    carry out your own round-robin amongst the vendors’ instruments.
  • compare different spectra file formats

With no configuration and no special menu command,
just drag & drop your data files.

Properties File Creator

A tool for the NIR-User to create the property file easily. It helps to create a CSV file from the measured spectra files with sample names and properties to edit in Spreadsheet/EXCEL software. Lets you enter Lab-Reference-Values in a sample-based manner, corresponding to your sample spectra for calibration. It contains clever automatic analysis mechanisms of inconsistencies in your raw-data to increase the data quality for calibration. Provides detailed analyzer information for manual data cleanup when needed.

It’s time saving and less error prone because you DON’T need to open each spectrum file separately in an editor and copy the spectral values into a table grid beside the Lab-values.

Properties File Creator saves you from:

  • manually error prone and boring tasks
  • importing multiple data files and combining it’s content manually into a single data file to append the lab reference values (aka properties)
  • programming and writing scripts to transform the data into the shape needed
  • no trouble with data handling of
    • Wavelength / Wavenumber information (x-axis)
    • Absorbance / Reflectance labeling (y-axis)
    • checking compatibility of the raw data before merging
    • Averaging Spectral Intensities of a Sample
    • coping, flipping and transposing rows and colums to get the X-Block and Y-Block data sets ready for calibration modeling
    • limited and error prone table grid functionality

Because it’s all automatic and you can check the results and get the analysis information!

Properties File Creator provides you - a individual template based on your raw-data for combining NIR and Lab-values - analysis and checks for better data quality for calibration

Top 8 Reasons why you should use
Automated NIR Calibration Service

  • No subjective model selection
  • No variation in results and interpretation
  • No overfitting model
  • Better accuracy
  • Better precision
  • Time saving!
  • No software cost (no need for Chemometric software and training)
  • One free prediction software for all your NIR systems

Reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of your NIR

To be ahead of competitors
  • by not owning a chemometric software
  • by not struggling days with these complicated software
  • by not deep dive into chemometrics theory
It takes significant know-how and continous investment to develop calibrations
  • You need to have the relevant skill sets in your organization.
  • That means salaries (the biggest expense in most organizations)
To get most out of it, start now!
  • use the free NIR-Predictor together with your NIR-Instrument software
  • as an NIR-Vendor, integrate the free NIR-Predictor OEM into your NIR-Instrument software
  • don’t delay time-to-market
