Page 7: Introduction
Features Ocean ST offers three models: UV (185-650 nm), Visible (350-810 nm) and NIR (645-1085 nm). By selecting the appropriate entrance slit for your Ocean ST microspectrometer, you can optimize the optical resolution of the setup for your application. -
Page 8: Installation And Setup
Be sure to install the spectroscopy software BEFORE connecting the spectrometer to your PC. The software installs the drivers required for spectrometer installation. If you do not install the software first, the system will not properly recognize the spectrometer. If you have already installed the Ocean ST to a computer running on a Windows platform prior to installing the operating software, consult the Troubleshooting section for information on correcting a corrupt Ocean ST installation. -
Page 9: Configuring The Ocean St
Hardware Setup The Ocean ST Spectrometer connects to a computer via the USB port. When connected through a USB 2.0 or 1.1 port, the spectrometer draws power from the host computer, eliminating the need for an external power supply Follow the steps below to connect the OCEAN ST to a computer via the USB port: 1. -

- Page 12 External Reset Input Pin The Ocean ST can reset itself via an external reset pin. Applying a logic low input to the RSTn pin places the ST into a hardware reset condition and will remain in reset until the input is brought high again. Note that this is a full hardware reset. Any operating parameters also are reset to defaults that can be restored by re-initializing via software commands.

Windows Operating Systems If you connected your Ocean ST device to the computer prior to installing your spectroscopy application (OceanView) on a Windows platform, you may encounter installation issues that you must correct before your Ocean Insight device will operate properly. -
Page 14: Frequently Asked Questions
Apple Mac OSX Operating Systems Since there are no device files for the Ocean ST Spectrometer in a Mac operating system, you should not encounter any problems if you installed the spectrometer before the operating software. Frequently Asked Questions I connected the USB cable and started OceanView but I don’t see my spectrometer attached. -

Page 19: Timing Signals
See timing diagrams for more information about Continuous Strobe Timing. Triggering Modes The Ocean ST supports two triggering modes, which are set with the Trigger Mode command. Detailed information about each triggering mode follows. Also, refer to the External Triggering Options document located on our website at OceanInsight.com. - Page 20 The two trigger modes are: Software Triggering: A trigger is initiated internal to the Spectrometer with a command from Ocean Insight approved software. The integration period is set by software configuration. External Edge Triggering: A trigger is initiated by the rising edge of the external trigger signal on the auxiliary connector. The integration period is set by soft- ware configuration.

The following timing diagram represents the acquisition process for a Software Trigger event. External Edge Trigger The External Edge Trigger mode for the spectrometer looks for a trigger signal on the 16-pin connector. The trigger signal must have a minimum high time of 10 ns. - Page 23 External Edge Trigger timing parameters are described below.

- Page 24 The following timing diagram represents the acquisition process for an External Edge Trigger event. The single strobe function for the case of an edge trigger event is similar to that of a software trigger. The single strobe delay is relative to the end of the Exter- nal Edge Trigger Delay.

42.1 mm (width) x 40.3 mm (depth) x 26.6 mm (height) Mounting The Ocean ST spectrometer has the ability to be mounted via 2 attachment points located on the face of the device. Two screws, size M2x0.4 (not supplied), are required. The instrument must be supported when mounted. -
Page 26: Calibration
Wavelength Calibration Each spectrometer is calibrated before it leaves Ocean Insight, however the wavelength for all spectrometers will drift slightly as a function of time and envi- ronmental conditions.
