  • Page 13: Chapter 2: Installing The Hr4000

    You must install the operating software application prior to connecting the HR4000 Spectrometer to the computer. The Ocean Optics spectrometer operating software installs the drivers required for the HR4000 spectrometer installation. If you do not install the software first, the system will not properly recognize the HR4000.
  • Page 14: Serial Port Mode

    4. Plug the 5 VDC external power supply into an outlet and connect it to the HR4000. Connect Spectroscopic Accessories To find operating instructions for HR2000+-compatible products (such as light sources, sampling chambers, and probes), consult the Ocean Optics website at http://oceanoptics.com/support/technical- documents/.

    Operating Software Installation Windows Operating Systems If you connected your Ocean Optics HR4000 device to the computer prior to installing your spectrometer operating software application, you may encounter installation issues that you must correct before your Ocean Optics device will operate properly.
  • Page 16: Remove Improperly Installed Files

    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 spectrometer operating 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 Hr4000

    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 HR4000.
  • 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.
