Installation and Operation Instructions
Description
The USB-AOUT is a digital-to-analog accessory that connects directly to the 10-pin input connector
on the Ocean Optics USB2000 or USB4000 Spectrometer. It emits an analog current ranging from 4 to
20 mA (based on a user-configurable scale) from Pin 8 of its 10-pin output. The analog current varies
based on a specific wavelength intensity obtained from OOIBase32 or SpectraSuite Spectrometer
Operating Software. The USB-AOUT does not require an external power supply, as the spectrometer
powers the unit via the accessory connector.
The USB-AOUT is an ideal solution for system integration configurations. It is designed to be a
custom configurable trigger mechanism based on current levels. You must configure the specific
events to be triggered separately in your configuration.
Parts Included
The USB-AOUT ships with the following items:
• USB-AOUT digital-to-analog output module
• Thumbscrew (to secure the USB-AOUT to the spectrometer)
