About SpectraSuite
SpectraSuite is a completely modular, Java-based spectroscopy software platform that operates on
Windows, Macintosh and Linux operating systems. The software can control any Ocean Optics USB
spectrometer and device, as well as any other manufacturer’s USB instrumentation using the appropriate
drivers. SpectraSuite is a user-customizable, advanced acquisition and display program that provides a
real-time interface to a variety of signal-processing functions. With SpectraSuite, you have the ability to
perform spectroscopic measurements (such as absorbance, reflectance, and emission), control all system
parameters, collect and display data in real time, and perform reference monitoring and time acquisition
experiments.

Caution
You must first install the software before you power up the spectrometer.
Other Equipment Needed
In addition to the parts you received with your spectrometer, you will need the following equipment to
run your experiments:
• Ocean Optics’ SpectraSuite Spectrometer Operating Software
• A computer to run the software. See the SpectraSuite Spectrometer Operating Software
Installation and Operation Manual for SpectraSuite system requirements.
• Safety goggles (such as the R-2001-GL goggles from Ocean Optics)
