7. Record the Intercept, as well as the First, Second, and Third Coefficients. Additionally, look at
the value for R squared. It should be very close to 1. If not, you have most likely assigned one of
your wavelengths incorrectly.
Keep these values at hand.
Saving the New Calibration Coefficients: USB
Mode
Ocean Optics programs wavelength calibration coefficients unique to each QE Pro onto an EEPROM
memory chip in the QE Pro.
You can overwrite old calibration coefficients on the EEPROM if you are using the QE Pro via the USB
port.
►
Procedure
To save wavelength calibration coefficients using the USB mode, perform the following steps:
1. Ensure that the QE Pro is connected to the PC and that you have closed all other applications.
2. Point your browser to http://www.oceanoptics.com/technical/softwaredownloads.asp and
scroll down to Microcode. Select Update QE Pro Utility.
3. Save the files to your computer and extract them from the zip file.
4. Double-click the UpdateQE-PRO.bat file to run the software.
5. Click on the desired QE Pro device displayed in the Devices pane.
