Items Included with Shipment
Important information and documentation accompany your NIR Spectrometer upon shipment. This
includes:
‰
Packing List – The packing list is located inside a plastic bag attached to the outside of the
shipment box (the invoice is mailed separately). The items listed on the packing slip include all of
the components in the order, including customized items installed in the spectrometer, such as the
slit. The packing list also includes important information, such as the shipping and billing
addresses, as well as any components on back order.
‰
Wavelength Calibration Data Sheet – Each spectrometer is shipped with a Wavelength
Calibration Data Sheet that contains information unique to your spectrometer. SpectraSuite
Operating Software reads this calibration data from your spectrometer when it interfaces to a PC
via the USB port. Any other interface requires that you manually enter the calibration data in
OOIBase32 (select Spectrometer | Configure | Wavelength Calibration tab). See the
OOIBase32 documentation for more information (refer to
Product-Related Documentation for
instructions on accessing OOIBase32 documentation).
Note
Please save the Wavelength Calibration Data Sheet for future reference.
‰
Software and Resources Library CD – Each spectrometer order comes with Ocean Optics’
Software and Resources Library CD. This disc contains all Ocean Optics software and manuals
for software operation, spectrometers, and spectroscopic accessories. Documentation is provided
in Portable Document Format (PDF). You need Adobe Acrobat Reader version 6.0 or higher to
view these files. Adobe Acrobat Reader is included on the CD.
Passwords for software applications can be found on the back of the Software and Resources
Library CD package.
