Chapter 2

Installing the QE65 Pro

Overview

You must install the operating software application prior to connecting the QE65 Pro Spectrometer to the

computer. The Ocean Optics spectrometer operating software installs the drivers required for the QE65

Pro spectrometer installation. If you do not install the software first, the system will not properly

recognize the QE65 Pro.

If you have already connected the QE65 Pro to the computer prior to installing the operating software,

consult Chapter 3: Troubleshooting

for information on correcting a corrupt QE65 Pro installation.
