4: Operating the JAZ-PX Module Setting JAZ-PX for Free Running Mode In Free Running mode, the lamp simply flashes at a given rate and is not synchronized with any other elements of the system. This mode is only suitable when the integration time is much longer than the flash rate.
4: Operating the JAZ-PX Module Operating JAZ-PX from OceanView Although the JAZ-PX module’s internal timing cannot be set directly from OceanView, this software can still easily control the PX flash by selecting the appropriate triggering options. To control the JAZ-PX via OceanView, the JAZ-PX module should operate in Triggered mode (not Free Running mode) and use the Jaz internal trigger to control its flash timing.

Appendix A Calibrating the Wavelength of Overview 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 Jaz spectrometer.
A: Calibrating the Wavelength of Jaz Calibrating the Spectrometer Preparing for Calibration To recalibrate the wavelength of your spectrometer, you need the following components: 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.
A: Calibrating the Wavelength of Jaz 7. Record the Intercept, as well as the First, Second, and Third Coefficients. Additionally, look at the value for R squared. It should be very close to 1. If not, you have most likely assigned one of your wavelengths incorrectly.
