Appendix A
External Triggering
Ocean Optics S2000-series spectrometers, when used with OOISensors Software, provide two methods of
acquiring data: no triggering for free running acquisitions controlled only from application’s front
window or external software trigger which limits scanning to when a high level signal is detected. See the
Timing Tab section of Chapter 2:
for more information. OOISensors does not
support external triggering.
External Software Trigger Mode allows you to use an external event to initiate the scan process in
OOISensors. In the External Software Trigger Mode, you set the integration time (as well as all other
acquisition parameters) in the software. The source for the integration clock comes from the A/D
converter.
Note
In order for you to use the External Software Trigger option, it is imperative that you know the
specifications and limitations of your triggering device. The design of your triggering device may
prevent you from using the External Software Trigger mode as it is described here.
