Ocean Optics S2000 - Manual (Page 6)

OOIBase32 Spectrometer Operating Software is our next generation of operating software for all Ocean Optics
spectrometers. OOIBase32 is a 32-bit, user-customizable, advanced acquisition and display program that provides
a real-time interface to a variety of signal-processing functions for Windows 95/98, Windows 2000 and Windows
NT users. With OOIBase32, you have the ability to perform spectroscopic measurements such as absorbance,
reflectance and emission; control all system parameters; collect data from up to 8 spectrometer channels
simultaneously in real time, display the results in a single spectral window; and perform reference monitoring and
time acquisition experiments.

For those customers with Windows 3.x operating systems, Ocean Optics has 16-bit spectrometer operating
software available – the original OOIBase. Contact Ocean Optics for more information.
Ocean Optics offers a complete line of light sources for UV-VIS-Shortwave NIR applications. All light sources
have SMA 905 terminations for coupling to optical fibers. Changing the sampling system is as easy as unscrewing
a connector and adding a new component or accessory. Our list of spectroscopic accessories includes sampling
holders, in-line filter holders, flow cells and other sampling devices; fiber optic probes and sensors; an extensive
line of optical fibers and accessories; and collimating lenses, attenuators, diffuse reflectance standards and
integrating spheres.
This modular approach -- components are easily mixed and matched -- offers remarkable applications flexibility.
Users pick and choose from hundreds of products to create distinctive systems for an almost endless variety of
optical-sensing applications. Just a few of the applications requiring our systems follows.
In This Manual
This manual provides users with directions on configuring your A/D converter with your computer and operating
the S2000 Miniature Fiber Optic Spectrometer. For abbreviated directions on setting up your system, turn to the
Quick Start instructions beginning on page 8. 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 final section in this manual provides specific directions on taking
absorbance, transmission, relative irradiance and reflection measurements in the
Experiment Tutorial section.
There is a separate manual for OOIBase32 Spectrometer Operating Software.

The operating instructions for components that make up our pre-configured systems such as the Raman,
spectroradiometry, fluorescence, oxygen and pH sensing, and chemistry-lab teaching systems are not included
in this manual.
