Ocean Optics S2000 - Manual (Page 21)

Run OOIBase32
After you restart your computer, navigate to the OOIBase32 icon and select it. The first time you run OOIBase32
after installation, you must follow several prompts before you can begin taking measurements.
Operator and Serial Number Dialog Box
First, a prompt to enter a user name and serial number appears. Certain data files will include this information in
the header. (If, at a later date, you wish to change the operator name and serial number, select Edit | Settings from
the menu and then choose the Registration tab.) Click OK.
Default Spectrometer Configuration File
Next, the following message appears:
This appears to be the first time OOIBase32 has been executed. Please select a default spectrometer
configuration file from the following screen. This spectrometer configuration file will be used each time
OOIBase32 is started.
A file open dialog box then appears. Navigate to the OOIBase32 directory, and choose the default spectrometer
configuration file -- the file with .spec as the extension, preceded by the serial number of your spectrometer. (A
default spectrometer configuration file will be named something similar to
I2J613.spec .)
Configure Hardware Dialog Box
Next, the Configure Hardware dialog box opens. The parameters in this dialog box are usually set only once -- when
OOIBase32 is first installed and the software first opens.
1.
Under Spectrometer Type, choose S2000/PC2000.
2. Under A/D Converter Type, choose
ADC1000/PC2000.
3. Under Base Address, choose the same setting as the
dip switches on the A/D board (and the same available
setting you found in your computer).
Remember that the Input/output Range (Base Address)
you selected was expressed in hexadecimal. In this
dialog box, the base address is given in decimal,
followed by the hexadecimal equivalent in parenthesis.
For example, “768 (0x0300)” gives the base address as
768 decimal and 300 hexadecimal.
4. Under IRQ, choose the same setting as the dip
switches on the A/D board (and the same available
setting you found in your computer).
5. For your setup, only these parameters apply. (Ignore
the other settings; they apply to other A/D converters.)
Click OK. You can always change these settings once
OOIBase32 is fully operational by selecting
Spectrometer | Configure | A/D Interface.

If you do not see the “Configure Hardware” screen, exit the software. Then select Start | Run and type
C:\windows\ooidrv.ini for Windows 95/98 systems or c:\winnt\ooidrv.ini for Windows NT
systems. Notepad will open. Edit this file for our device driver by finding the “Initialized” entry and making
sure this line reads
Initialized=0 . Save the OOIDRV.INI file and exit Notepad. Restart OOIBase32. You
should now see the “Configure Hardware” dialog box.
