Description
The Ocean Optics Breakout Box (HR4-BREAKOUT) is a passive module that separates the signals
from their 30-pin port to an array of standard connectors and headers, enabling easy access to a variety
of features found in Ocean Optics' HR2000+, HR4000, and QE65000 Spectrometers. In addition to
the accessory connector, the breakout box features a circuit board based on a neutral breadboard
pattern that allows custom circuitry to be prototyped on the board itself.
The Breakout Box allows multiple interfaces to the spectrometer, such as the following:
•
DB-15 light sources
•
RS-232 interface
•
GPIO
•
External triggering
•
Analog Input/Output
The Breakout Box is compatible with HR4000 Spectrometers with Revision B or
greater. HR4000 Spectrometers with serial numbers beginning with HR4A are not
compatible with the HR4000 Breakout Box.
