Ocean Optics HR4000CG-UV-NIR - Manual (Page 11)

1: Introduction
6. The spectrometer passes the sample information to OOI software.
7. OOI software compares the sample to the reference measurement and displays processed spectral
information.
Modular Sampling Accessories
Ocean Optics offers a complete line of spectroscopic accessories for use with the HR4000. Most of our
spectroscopic accessories have SMA connectors for application flexibility. Accordingly, changing the
sampling system components is as easy as unscrewing a connector and replacing an accessory.
Interface Options
The HR4000 has both USB and serial port connectors (with the use of an adapter), enabling you to
connect the spectrometer to a desktop or notebook computer via a USB port or to a desktop, notebook, or
to handheld PC via a serial port. However, you must create custom software if using the serial port.
SpectraSuite software is available if you are connecting via the USB port.

Ocean Optics also offers the Breakout Box (HR4-BREAKOUT), a passive module that separates the
signals from their 30-pin port to an array of standard connectors and headers, enabling easy access to a
variety of features found in Ocean Optics’ HR4000 Spectrometer. In addition to the accessory connector,
the breakout box features a circuit board based on a neutral breadboard pattern that allows custom
circuitry to be prototyped on the board itself.
