System Requirements
You can use the Maya2000 Series’ USB connectivity with any computer that meets the requirements for
the spectrometer operating software being used (Windows 98/Me/2000/XP, Mac OS X and Linux). See
About SpectraSuite Software .
EEPROM Utilization
An EEPROM memory chip in each Maya2000 Series contains wavelength calibration coefficients,
linearity coefficients, and a serial number unique to each individual spectrometer. The OOI software
application reads these values directly from the spectrometer, enabling the ability to “hot-swap”
spectrometers between computers without entering the spectrometer coefficients manually on each
computer.
About SpectraSuite Software
SpectraSuite is the latest generation of operating software for all Ocean Optics spectrometers. It is a
completely modular, Java-based spectroscopy software platform that operates on Windows, Macintosh
and Linux operating systems. The software can control any Ocean Optics USB spectrometer and device,
as well as any other manufacturer’s USB instrumentation using the appropriate drivers.
SpectraSuite is a user-customizable, advanced acquisition and display program that provides a real-time
interface to a variety of signal-processing functions. With SpectraSuite, you have the ability to perform
spectroscopic measurements (such as absorbance, reflectance, and emission), control all system
parameters, collect and display data in real time, and perform reference monitoring and time acquisition
experiments. Consult the SpectraSuite manual for hardware requirements when using SpectraSuite (see
Product-Related Documentation ).
