Using the ADC1000-USB: Serial Mode
Serial Port Overview
Interface the ADC1000-USB to the Spectrometer
If you ordered your S2000 or S1024DW Spectrometer and ADC1000-USB A/D Converter at the
same time, the spectrometer and the A/D converter should share one housing (see the
ADC1000-USB-S Notes section in this chapter). However, if you already owned a spectrometer
and then purchased the ADC1000-USB separately, you must interface the ADC1000-USB to the
back of the spectrometer. The picture below illustrates this connection:

Connect the ADC1000-USB to your Serial Port
To use the serial port on the ADC1000-USB, the PC to which it is interfacing must have a 32-bit
Windows operating system.
Follow the steps below to connect the ADC1000-USB to the computer via the serial port:
1. Connect one end of the serial cable to the ADC1000-USB and the other end of the serial
cable to a serial port on your PC.
2. Note the serial port number (also called COM Port) on the PC to which you are
interfacing. Some PCs may not have numbered ports.
