The techniques and instrumentation for inferring magnetic fields using a spectrometer or spectrograph rather than a narrowband filter are reviewed. With array detectors and/or Fourier transform spectroscopy, the polarimetric data is acquired over the relevant spectral range strictly simultaneously with no possibility of spatial misregistration. Several recent examples of spectrometer-based magnetographs are discussed and compared, and new observations from the NASA/NSO Spectromagnetograph of magnetic flux, velocity field, continuum intensity, equivalent width, and line depth in active regions and the whole sun are shown.
