information.
Interface Options
The Torus has both USB and serial port connectors (with the use of an adapter), enabling you to connect
the spectrometer to a computer via a USB or serial port. However, you must create custom software if
using the serial port. Overture and SpectraSuite software are available if you are connecting via the USB
port.
Shipment Components
The following information and documentation ships with the Torus Spectrometer:
 Packing List
The packing list is inside a plastic bag attached to the outside of the shipment box (the invoice
arrives separately). It lists all items in the order, including customized components in the
spectrometer (such as the grating, detector collection lens, and slit). The packing list also includes
the shipping and billing addresses, as well as any items on back order.
 USB Cable (USB-CBL-1)
Use this cable to connect your spectrometer to a computer running on a Windows, Mac or Linux
operating system.
 Wavelength Calibration Data Sheet
Each spectrometer is shipped with a Wavelength Calibration Data Sheet that contains information
unique to your spectrometer. The spectrometer operating software reads this calibration data from
your spectrometer when it interfaces to a computer via the USB port.
Note
Please save the Wavelength Calibration Data Sheet for future reference.
 Software and Technical Resources CD
Each order ships with the Ocean Optics Software and Resources CD. This disc contains software,
operating instructions, and product information for all Ocean Optics software, spectrometers, and
spectroscopic accessories. You need Adobe Acrobat Reader version 6.0 or higher to view these
files. Ocean Optics includes the Adobe Acrobat Reader on the Software and Technical Resources
CD.
Ocean Optics software requires a password during the installation process. You can locate
passwords for the other software applications on the back of the Software and Technical
Resources CD package.
