Introduction
Product Overview
SpectraSuite® is a modular, Java-based spectroscopy software platform that operates on 32- and 64-bit
Windows, Macintosh and Linux operating systems. The software can control any Ocean Optics USB
spectrometer and device. The SpectraSuite interface looks and feels the same on all operating systems yet
retains the familiar appearance of an application native to each OS. Ocean Optics is the first to offer such
a flexible, feature-packed application with this level of cross-platform capability.
SpectraSuite is the platform for all future Ocean Optics application software development. Current
software applications including OOIChem, OOIColor and OOIIrrad-C have been migrated to the
SpectraSuite platform.
USB Spectrometer and Device Control
SpectraSuite easily manages multiple USB spectrometers – each with different acquisition parameters –
in multiple windows, and provides graphical and numeric representation of spectra from each
spectrometer. Using SpectraSuite, you can combine data from multiple sources for applications that
include upwelling/downwelling measurements, dual-beam referencing and process monitoring.
SpectraSuite can be used with the following Ocean Optics spectrometers when they are interfacing to a
computer through their USB port:
 S2000 Spectrometer (with A/D Converter)
 USB650 Spectrometer
 USB2000 Spectrometer
 USB2000+ Spectrometer
 USB2000-FLG Spectrometer
 USB4000 Spectrometer
 HR2000 High-resolution Spectrometer
 HR2000+High-resolution Spectrometer
 HR4000 High-resolution Spectrometer
 Jaz System
 QE65000 Scientific-grade Spectrometer
 NIR-512 Near-IR Spectrometer
 NIR256-2.1 and NIR256-2.5 Near-IR Spectrometers
