Installing Jaz
Overview
Your Jaz unit is field-portable and can collect data as a free-standing unit from the battery embedded in
the stack. You also have two options for connecting Jaz to a computer to process the data you have
collected:
 A USB connection directly to a computer running SpectraSuite.
 An Ethernet connection to a computer network.
Note
Your Jaz unit receives power from either connection.
If you have purchased SpectraSuite software, you must install it prior to connecting Jaz Spectrometer to a
computer. The SpectraSuite software installation installs the drivers required for Jaz. If you do not install
SpectraSuite first, the computer will not properly recognize Jaz.
If you have already connected Jaz to a computer running on a Windows platform prior to installing
SpectraSuite, consult
Jaz Connected to Computer Prior to SpectraSuite Installation for information on
correcting a corrupt Jaz installation.
Caution
Connect all cables before powering-on your Jaz unit. Install Jaz in the following
order:
1. Connect the external power supply (if used).
2. Open SpectraSuite.
3. Connect the USB cable between Jaz and your computer (if used).
4. Press F5 to display Jaz in SpectraSuite.
