Spectroscopic Functions
OceanView allows you to perform the three basic spectroscopic experiments – absorbance, reflectance
and emission, as well as absolute irradiance and Raman. Signal-processing functions such as electrical
dark-signal correction, stray light correction, boxcar pixel smoothing and signal averaging are also
included. Scope mode, the spectrometer operating mode in which raw data (signal) is acquired by the
detector, allows you to establish these signal-conditioning parameters. The basic concept for the software
is that real-time display of data allows users to evaluate the effectiveness of their experimental setups and
data processing selections, make changes to these parameters, instantly see the effects and save the data.
Most spectrometer-system operating software does not allow such signal-conditioning flexibility.
With OceanView, you can perform time-acquisition experiments for kinetics applications. As part of the
time-acquisition function (strip charts), you can monitor and report single wavelengths, and you can
average between wavelengths and find the integral between two wavelengths. In addition, you can
perform reference monitoring in a variety of ways: single wavelength (1 or 2 channels), integrated
intensity (starting and ending wavelengths for 1 or 2 channels) and wavelength-by-wavelength (2
channels).
OceanView gives you complete control of setting the parameters for all system functions such as
acquiring data, designing the graph display, and using spectra overlays. OceanView has the benefit of
providing various software-controlled triggering options for external events such as laser firing or light
source pulsing.
Other advanced features give you several data-collection options. You can independently store and
retrieve dark, reference, sample and processed spectra. All data can be saved to disk using
autoincremented filenames. You can save data as ASCII files. One feature prints the spectra and another
copies spectral data into other software such as Excel and Word.
