The HR4000, like all our USB devices, can be controlled by our OceanView software, a Java-based spectroscopy software platform that operates on Windows, Macintosh and Linux operating systems. Ocean Optics HR4000 High-Resolution Fiber Optic Spectrometer 210-00000-000-02-201604...
PC. About OceanView Software OceanView 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.
Modular Sampling Accessories Ocean Optics offers a complete line of spectroscopic accessories for use with the HR4000. Most of our spectroscopic accessories have SMA connectors for application flexibility. Accordingly, changing the sampling system components is as easy as unscrewing a connector and replacing an accessory.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
