Ocean Optics DAQ700 - Manual (Page 5)

Save the spectrometer configuration file by choosing Spectrometer | Save Configuration As from the OOIBase32
menu. You can rename the file or use the default file name (
[your serial number].spec ). You will then be asked if
you would like to make this file the default spectrometer configuration file. Choose Yes. The next time you run
OOIBase32, the software will use the file as the standard for your spectrometer configuration. When you exit
OOIBase32, any changes to the configuration file will be automatically saved to the default file.
OOIBase32 Settings Dialog Box
At this point, it is a good idea to configure several OOIBase32 operation parameters. Choose Edit | Settings from
the menu to open the OOIBase32 Settings dialog box. Go through each page of this dialog box to select options
for saving, opening, and printing data; to choose waveform sound files for various program events; to configure
default setting files; and to select other important options such as storing and copying data and choosing warning
messages. (See the
OOIBase32 Spectrometer Operating Software Manual for details.)
Configure Data Acquisition Dialog Box
Finally, select Spectrum | Configure Data Acquisition from the menu to set your data acquisition parameters in
the Configure Data Acquisition dialog box. The Basic page allows you to set the integration time and choose
averaging and boxcar smoothing values. The External Trigger page allows you to specify the external trigger
mode. The Strobe page allows you to control external strobe events with the spectrometer. (See the
OOIBase32
Spectrometer Operating Software Manual for details.)
