Measured optical spectra are stored in this table. Each spectrum is connected to a sample position, a sample state and several  other quantities. Please note the important role of the column probehead which connects a spectrum to an object in the list of spectra in SCOUT. If a spectrum object named 'R' saves a spectrum the probehead name will be entered as 'R' in the database. When you later try to load spectra from the database into a SCOUT configuration it must contain a spectrum object with name 'R' as well. It is recommended to develop a consistent use of spectrum names in your work.

A spectrum may be characterized by up to 3 floating point numbers which may represent the sample temperature at the time of data acquisition or similar quantities.

Note that the column 'data' is not used. The spectral data are stored in the separate table spectrum_blob (see below).
