About OOIBase Operating Software
OOIBase is the standard operating software for Ocean Optics spectrometers. OOIBase for Windows is a
basic acquisition and display software that provides a real-time interface to a variety of signal-processing
functions. OOIBase allows users to perform basic spectroscopic measurements such as absorbance,
reflectance and emission, as well as more sophisticated tasks such as the automation of experiments with a
time-series acquisition function. OOIBase allows the user to view, in real-time and entirely on one screen,
spectral data from up to 8 spectrometer channels.

OOIBase offers users considerably more flexibility than they are likely to experience with other spectrometer
operating software. The basic concept for the software is that real-time display of data allows users to
evaluate the effectiveness of their experimental setup and data processing selections, make changes to these
parameters, instantly see their effect, and save the data. OOIBase offers:
! Spectrometer control
•
integration time regulation
•
multiple triggering options
•
channel selection
! Signal Processing including:
•
signal averaging
•
boxcar pixel smoothing
•
electrical dark-signal subtraction
•
stray light correction
! Spectral Processing: absorbance, transmission, irradiance
! Time series acquisition for full spectra
! Real time graphical display with zoom, cursor and cosmetic selections
! Multi-window support
! File Export to ASCII format
OOIBase operates with Windows 3.x and Windows 95/98. Windows NT users are easily able to write their
own applications using the OOIWinIP Windows or OOILVD LabVIEW drivers.
