    About SpectraSuite SpectraSuite is the latest generation of operating software for all Ocean Optics spectrometers. It is a completely modular, Java-based spectroscopy software platform that operates on Windows, Macintosh and Linux operating systems. The software can control any Ocean Optics USB spectrometer and device, as well as any other manufacturer’s USB instrumentation using the appropriate drivers.

  • Page 9: Sampling System Overview

    Sampling System Overview How Sampling Works Ocean Optics components function in a sampling system as follows: 1. The user stores reference and dark measurements to correct for instrument response variables. 2. The light from the light source transmits through an optical fiber to the sample.

    Chapter 2 Installing the USB2000+ Overview You must install the SpectraSuite software application prior to connecting the USB2000+ Spectrometer to the computer. The SpectraSuite software installation installs the drivers required for USB2000+ installation. If you do not install SpectraSuite 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 SpectraSuite, consult Chapter 3: Troubleshooting...

    4. Plug the 5 VDC external power supply into an outlet and connect it to the USB2000+. Connect Spectroscopic Accessories To find operating instructions for USB2000+-compatible products (such as light sources, sampling chambers, and probes), consult the Software and Technical Resources CD or the Ocean Optics website at http://www.oceanoptics.com/technical/operatinginstructions.asp USB2000+ Configuration The USB2000+ can be used with either SpectraSuite or OOIBase32 software when connected to the USB port.

    2: Installing the USB2000+ Note the spectrometer(s) that you have installed are listed in the Data Sources pane. Configuring the USB2000+ in OOIBase32 Once you install the USB2000+, you must configure OOIBase32’s Configure Spectrometer options so that OOIBase32 recognizes the USB2000+ Spectrometer. Consult the OOIBase32 Spectrometer Operating Software Operating Instructions for detailed instructions on configuring the spectrometer in Product-Related Documentation).

    4. Navigate to the Windows | System32 | Drivers directory. 5. Delete the EZUSB.SYS file. 6. Reinstall your Ocean Optics application and reboot the system when prompted. 7. Plug in the USB device. The system is now able to locate and install the correct drivers for the USB device.

  • Page 17: Linux Operating Systems

    3: Troubleshooting Linux Operating Systems For Linux operating systems, all you need to do is install the SpectraSuite software, then unplug and replug in the spectrometer. Technically, the driver files for Linux simply give nonprivileged users permission to use newly connected hardware. There isn’t any long-term harm to plugging in the device before installing the software.

  • Page 19: Appendix A: Calibrating The Wavelength Of The Usb2000

    This appendix describes how to calibrate the wavelength of your spectrometer. Though each spectrometer is calibrated before it leaves Ocean Optics, the wavelength for all spectrometers will drift slightly as a function of time and environmental conditions. Ocean Optics recommends periodically recalibrating the USB2000+.

  • Page 20: Calibrating The Spectrometer

    A light source capable of producing spectral lines Note Ocean Optics’ HG-1 Mercury-Argon lamp is ideal for recalibration. If you do not have an HG-1, you need a light source that produces several (at least 4-6) spectral lines in the wavelength region of your spectrometer.

  • Page 22: Saving The New Calibration Coefficients: Usb Mode

    Saving the New Calibration Coefficients: USB Mode Ocean Optics programs wavelength calibration coefficients unique to each USB2000+ onto an EEPROM memory chip in the USB2000+. You can overwrite old calibration coefficients on the EEPROM if you are using the USB2000+ via the USB port.

  • Page 23: Appendix B: External Triggering

    USB2000+ will not acquire spectra. External Hardware Trigger On the USB2000+, Ocean Optics has altered the functionality of the External Hardware Trigger function and reprogrammed the Single Strobe signal function. These alterations of the USB2000 enable you to operate in the Variable Delay Mode without the presence of an external trigger signal. The USB2000+ will simulate the signal to trigger the appropriate circuitry in the spectrometer.

  • Page 24: External Synchronization Trigger

    B: External Triggering Timing Diagram for Variable Delay Mode External Synchronization Trigger In this mode of the USB2000+, the integration clock is essentially input into the spectrometer. The synchronized trigger must have a frequency range of 5ms to 60s (shutter mode cannot be used in External Synchronization Trigger mode).
