Avantes offers its proprietary software package, AvaSoft, for instrument control of AvaSpec spectrometers and Avantes accessories and to select user-definable data collection parameters. Data can be displayed and stored in multiple formats as well as exported into other data processing software.
AvaSoft offers several application-specific modules that can be added separately or as part of the AvaSoft-ALL upgrade. These modules allow users to add only what they require for advanced application-specific measurements beyond the capabilities supported in the Basic or Full software packages. These modules include Thin Film, Raman, Irradiance, Color, and Chemometry among others.
For customers that wish to develop their own controlling software for Avantes instruments, we offer a comprehensive software development kit for Windows, Linux, and Raspberry Pi.

Despite its advances, the latest version is not without critiques. The direct-to-cloud streaming model is heavily dependent on low-latency, high-bandwidth internet (minimum recommended 25 Mbps). In regions with inconsistent connectivity, users report "timeout freezing" where the Explorer interface hangs while waiting for cloud metadata. Additionally, the new permission inheritance model—where the connector mirrors Autodesk Docs permissions locally—has led to confusion, as standard Windows "Read/Write" toggles do not always map cleanly to cloud roles like "Viewer + Downloader." Finally, enterprise IT administrators have noted that the connector’s background telemetry and sync processes consume more CPU resources than previous versions, particularly during initial folder mapping. Despite its advances, the latest version is not
