Ocean Optics OOIColor - Manual (Page 4)

Overview
OOIColor is a Microsoft  Excel worksheet template, which contains all of the necessary code to
access data directly from our line of miniature fiber optic spectrometers. Coupled with the
appropriate fiber optic probes, the worksheet and spectrometer combination can measure
reflective or emissive color.
The worksheet template operates under Microsoft Excel, version 5.0 or higher. Consult your
Excel documentation or help files for instructions on how to open and use worksheet templates.
Install the software by inserting the floppy disk into your disk drive, and running the
SETUP.EXE program.
OOIColor is intended as both a stand-alone application that is ready to use, as well as a template
for developing your own software. Be sure that you save a copy of the original version of the
worksheet template before you make any modifications.
All data acquisition and analysis is performed within this worksheet. Several color space values
are reported in numeric form: XYZ, xyz, L*u*v*, L*a*b*, W*U*V* and u’v’w’. Graphs are
provided for XYZ and L*a*b* color spaces.
