Ocean Optics CHEM2000 - Manual (Page 9)

1: Introduction
5. Select a Program Manager Group. Click Next. At the Start Installation dialog box, click
Next.
6. At the Installation Complete dialog box, choose Finish.
7. When prompted to do so, restart your computer when the installation is complete.
Step 2: Configure OOIChem Software
After you restart your computer, navigate to the OOIChem icon and select it. The first time you run
OOIChem after installation, you must follow several prompts to configure your system before taking
measurements.
Hardware Configuration
The Configure Hardware dialog box opens when you first run OOIChem. The parameters in this dialog
box are usually set only once – when OOIChem is first installed and the software first opens.
► Procedure
1. Under Spectrometer Type, choose S4000.
2. Under A/D Converter Type, choose HR4000.
3. In the USB Serial Number field, select the serial number of the HR4000 spectrometer in
your Maxwell system from the drop-down list.
4. For your setup, only these parameters apply to your system. Click OK. You can always
change these settings once OOIChem is fully operational by selecting Spectrometer |
Hardware Configuration.
Spectrometer Configuration
At this point, OOIChem should be acquiring data from your spectrometer. There should be a dynamic
trace responding to light near the bottom of the displayed graph. Now that OOIChem is running, you need
to configure your system. Select Spectrometer | Spectrometer Configuration from the menu.
• Coefficients. Loaded automatically from the spectrometer.
• Trigger mode. Select No External Trigger, unless you have wired an external triggering device
to the spectrometer for synchronizing data with an external event.
• Graph and chart display mode. Choose Spectrum Only to only view live spectra from one
spectrometer channel. Choose Spectrum & Kinetics to view both real-time live spectra in the top
half of the graph and to view a chart displaying your kinetics experiment in the bottom half of the
graph.
• Flash Delay. This function is for use with a strobe light source. The Maxwell system does not
come with a strobe light source.
