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.
Keep these values at hand.
Saving the New Calibration Coefficients: USB
Mode
Ocean Optics programs wavelength calibration coefficients unique to each Maya2000 Series
Spectrometer onto an EEPROM memory chip in the spectrometer.
You can overwrite old calibration coefficients on the EEPROM using the Maya2000 Series Spectrometer
via the USB port.

Procedure
To save wavelength calibration coefficients using the USB mode, perform the following steps:
1. Ensure that the Maya2000 Series is connected to the PC and that you have closed all other
applications.
2. Point your browser to
and
scroll down to Microcode. Select USB EEPROM Programmer.
3. Save the setup file to your computer.
4. Run the Setup.exe file to install the software. The Welcome screen appears.
5. Click the Next button. The Destination Location screen appears.
6. Accept the default installation location, or click the Browse button to specify a directory. Then,
click the Next button. The Program Manager Group screen appears.
7. Click the Next button. The Start Installation screen appears.
8. Click the Next button to begin the installation. Once the installation finishes, the Installation
Complete screen appears.
9. Click the Finish button and reboot the computer when prompted.
10. Navigate to the USB EEPROM Programmer from the Start menu and run the software.
11. Click on the desired spectrometer displayed in the left pane of the USB Programmer screen.
12. Double-click on each of the calibration coefficients displayed in the right pane of the USB
Programmer screen and enter the new values acquired in Steps 5 and 6 of the
Wavelength of the Spectrometer
13. Repeat Step 12 for all of the new values.
14. Click on the Save All Values button to save the information, and then Exit the USB Programmer
software.
The new wavelength calibration coefficients are now loaded onto the EEPROM memory chip on the
Maya2000 Series Spectrometer.
