2: OOISensors Software
If you choose the ADC1000-USB A/D Converter:
Specify the serial number of the ADC1000-USB, or select the First Available ADC1000-USB
option. Consult your A/D Converter documentation for more information.
If you choose the SAD500 or Serial USB2000 Spectrometer:
4. Specify the PC Serial Port (or COM Port) number to which the device is connected.
5. Select the Baud Rate at which the device will operate.
6. Enter a SAD500 Pixel Resolution, which specifies that the spectrometer transmit every nth pixel
from the SAD500 to the PC. Valid pixel resolutions are 1-500, and resolution requirements vary
by experiment.
Note
Lower pixel resolutions result in increased speed. The transfer of one complete spectra requires
~0.4 seconds when communicating at 115,200 baud rate. If you need your information in <0.4
seconds, increase the resolution or enable data compression. (This option does not appear for
Serial USB2000 users.)
7. Enable the Compress Data function to minimize the amount of data transferred over the RS-232
connection. Transmission of spectral data over the serial port is a relatively slow process.
Enabling this function insures that every scan transmitted will be compressed, which greatly
increases the data transfer speed.
8. Select the USB2000 Serial Number for the USB2000 you wish to use (Serial USB2000 users
only).
Software
Select Configure | Software to specify the spectrometer parameters in the OOISensors software.
To access the Configure System screen, choose Configure | Software from the OOISensors menu bar.
The Configure System screen contains tabs for specifying Sensor, Timing, Display, and Log options.
