Project description:
"Im looking to commission the development of a custom software solution to utilize my Nir, InnoSpectra NIR-S-G1 for professional narcotics testing.
​Here is a brief outlining the software requirements, emphasizing both forensic functionality and user-friendliness:
​Software Requirements Specification: Forensic NIR Analyzer
​This document outlines the features and components necessary for a user-friendly, custom application capable of utilizing the InnoSpectra NIR-S-G1 for narcotics and controlled substance testing.

Must run on common operating systems (e.g., Windows 10/11, iOS, or Android). Development should leverage the InnoSpectra SDK for the chosen platform(s).
Device Control Seamless Bluetooth (BLE) pairing and connection to the NIR-S-G1. Must automatically detect and reconnect to the device.
Data Acquisition Control of the NIR-S-G1's scan parameters (e.g., integration time, number of scans). A simple "Scan" button initiates the entire process.

Substance Identification Qualitative Analysis: Match the scanned spectrum against the Narcotics Spectral Library to identify the primary substance. Must use a strong algorithm (e.g., spectral correlation or Principal Component Analysis/PCA) for a clear ID result.
Purity Quantification Quantitative Analysis: Accurately estimate the concentration/purity (\text{wt}\%) of the main substance (e.g., cocaine \text{HCl} purity) and major cutting agents. Requires a chemometric model (e.g., PLS-R) built on a wide variety of mixed samples.
Adulterant/Excipient Detection Automatically identify common cutting agents and adulterants (e.g., fentanyl, caffeine, lidocaine, sugars, etc.) present in the mixture. Must analyze the mixture spectrum for up to 3 components.
Result Display Display a clear, color-coded result in less than 15 seconds: Substance ID, Purity (%), and detected Adulterants. Results must be easy to interpret for non-chemists.

User Interface (UI) Clean, step-by-step workflow (e.g., 1. Connect \rightarrow 2. Calibrate \rightarrow 3. Scan \rightarrow 4. Results). Minimal clutter; large buttons suitable for touchscreens (mobile).
Calibration A simple, guided White Reference Scan process (per manufacturer instructions). The app should guide the user and validate successful calibration.
Data Security & Storage Automatic storage of all scanned spectra, results, and metadata (date, time, user ID). Data must be stored securely locally and/or synchronized to a cloud server.
Reporting & Export Ability to export data and print reports in standard formats (e.g., PDF or CSV) for case filing or further lab analysis. Each report should include the raw spectrum and the identification/purity results.
Audit Trail Log of all actions (scans, calibrations, user logins) for legal traceability. Essential for forensic and highly regulated applications.

To build this software, the developer will require the following specialized assets, which are not included with the standard NIR-S-G1 purchase:
​InnoSpectra SDK: To communicate with the hardware.
​Professional Chemometrics Software: To build the prediction models (e.g., MATLAB/PLS Toolbox, The Unscrambler)." (client-provided description)
