A: Calibrating the Wavelength of the NIR Spectrometer
12. Repeat Step 12 for all of the new values.
13. Click on the Save All Values button to save the information, and then Exit the USB Programmer
software.
The new wavelength calibration coefficients are now loaded onto the EEPROM memory chip on the NIR
Spectrometer.
Saving the New Calibration Coefficients: Serial
Mode
If you are interfacing the NIR Spectrometer to your PC via the serial cable, you need to save the
wavelength calibration coefficients to the .SPEC file that OOIBase32 accesses when opened.
Note
You cannot save the calibration coefficients to the EEPROM memory chip on the NIR
Spectrometer when using the serial mode.
► Procedure
To save Wavelength Calibration Coefficients using the Serial mode:
1. Open the OOIBase32 application.
2. Select Spectrometer | Configure from the OOIBase32 menu bar. The Configure Spectrometer
screen appears.
3. Select the Wavelength Calibration tab to update the wavelength coefficients within OOIBase32.
4. Enter in the new values acquired from Steps 5 and 6 of the Calibrating the Wavelength of the
Spectrometer section in this appendix.
5. Click the OK button to save the information in OOIBase32.
