Introduction

Product Overview

The USB2000+ Miniature Fiber Optic Spectrometer is a unique combination of technologies a powerful
2-MHz analog-to-digital (A/D) converter, programmable electronics, a 2048-element CCD-array detector,
and a high-speed USB 2.0 port. This innovative combination produces our fastest spectrometer yet and
provides resolution to 0.1 nm (FWHM). The USB2000+ allows users to capture and store a full spectrum
into memory every millisecond (that's 1,000 full spectra every second) when the spectrometer is
interfaced to a computer via a USB 2.0 port. The USB2000+ is perfect for chemical, biochemical and
other applications where fast reactions need to be monitored.
The USB2000+ Spectrometer connects to a computer via the USB port or serial port. When connected
through a USB 2.0 or 1.1, the spectrometer draws power from the host computer, eliminating the need for
an external power supply. The USB2000+, like all USB devices, can be controlled by our OceanView
software, a Java-based spectroscopy software platform that operates on Windows, Macintosh and Linux
operating systems.
