Chapter 2: Installing The Usb2000; Overview; Usb2000+ Installation; Usb Mode - Ocean Optics USB2000 Plus Installation And Operation Manual

Overview

You must install the operating software application prior to connecting the USB2000+ Spectrometer to
the computer. The Ocean Optics spectrometer operating software installs the drivers required for
USB2000+ installation. If you do not install the software first, the system will not properly recognize the
USB2000+.
If you have already connected the USB2000+ to a computer running on a Windows platform prior to
installing the operating software, consult Chapter 3:
corrupt USB2000+ installation.

USB2000+ Installation

This section contains instructions for connecting the USB2000+ via both USB and serial modes.

USB Mode

The USB port on a computer can power up to five USB2000+ spectrometer channels.
Systems with more than five channels require a powered USB hub.

Procedure
Follow the steps below to connect the USB2000+ to a computer via the USB port:
1. Install the spectrometer operating software on the destination computer.
2. Locate the USB cable (USB-CBL-1) provided with the USB2000+.
3. Insert the square end of the cable into the side of the USB2000+.
4. Insert the rectangular end of the cable into the USB port of the computer.
If you installed the spectrometer operating software prior to connecting the USB2000+, the software
installs the USB2000+ drivers. If the drivers do not successfully install (or if you connected the
USB2000+ to the computer before installing the software), consult Chapter 3: Troubleshooting.
If you have followed the previous steps and started the software, the spectrometer is already acquiring
data.
