Ocean Optics S1024DW Install - Manual (Page 5)

2
OOIBase32 is the latest edition of operating software for all Ocean Optics spectrometers. This change from
16-bit to 32-bit operating software reflects Ocean Optics’ decision to upgrade its software to accommodate
the increase of 32-bit operating systems. OOIBase32 still includes the functions of the original OOIBase,
but numerous editing, viewing, and spectral processing functions have been added.
For detailed instructions on all of the features, menu items, and options in OOIBase32, please refer to
the OOIBase32 Spectrometer Operating Software Manual included with your spectrometer order or
the OOIBase32 online help files.
In This Manual
This manual provides users with directions on configuring your SAD500 with your computer and operating
the S1024DW Miniature Fiber Optic Spectrometer. In addition, this manual covers instructions for using
some of our most popular spectroscopic components including light sources, sampling chambers, sampling
optics, fiber optic probes, and optical fiber assemblies. The
Experiment Tutorial section provides specific
directions on taking absorbance, transmission, relative irradiance, and reflection measurements. Additional
information is included in Appendices, such as the pin-outs and jumpers of the spectrometer, instructions
on adjusting the focus of a collimating lens, and directions on external triggering.
Packing List
A packing list comes with your order. It is located inside a plastic bag attached to the outside of the shipment
box. The invoice is mailed separately. The items listed on your packing slip include all of the components in
your order. However, some items on your packing list are actually items you have specified to be installed
into your spectrometer, such as the grating, detector collection lens, and slit. The packing list also includes
information such as the shipping address, billing address, and components on back order. What you won’t
find on the packing list is OOIBase32, the free operating software that comes with every spectrometer order.
Wavelength Calibration Data Sheet
In your shipment box you will find your spectrometer in a silver-gray anti-static bag. Also inside this bag is
a calibration sheet wrapped around the operating software diskettes. A calibration sheet comes with every
spectrometer channel, contains important information specific to your spectrometer, and should be retained.
