Chapter 2

Installing the NIR Spectrometer

Overview

You must install the operating software application prior to connecting the NIR Spectrometer to the PC.

The Ocean Optics spectrometer operating software installs the drivers required for NIR Spectrometer

installation. If you do not install the software first, the system will not properly recognize the NIR

Spectrometer.

If you have already connected the NIR Spectrometer to the PC prior to installing the software, consult

Chapter 3: Troubleshooting

for information on correcting a corrupt NIR Spectrometer installation.

Once you have properly installed the spectrometer, refer to either the SpectraSuite or OOIBase32

operating instructions for information on taking measurements.
