• EEPROM storage for

• Wavelength Calibration Coefficients

• Linearity Correction Coefficients

• Absolute Irradiance Calibration (optional)

• Plug-n-play interface for PC applications

• 30-pin connector for interfacing to external products

System Requirements

You can use the QE65 Pro’s USB connectivity with any computer that meets the requirements for the

spectrometer operating software being used (Windows XP/Vista/Windows 7, Mac OS X and Linux). See

About Ocean Optics Software

Alternately, the QE65 Pro has a serial port for connecting to PCs, PLCs, and other devices with a

Windows 32-bit operating system that support the RS-232 communication protocol. However, this

connection method requires an external power supply to power the QE65 Pro, the Breakout Box, and a

serial cable.

EEPROM Utilization

An EEPROM memory chip in each QE65 Pro contains wavelength calibration coefficients, linearity

coefficients, and a serial number unique to each individual spectrometer. The OOI software application

reads these values directly from the spectrometer, enabling the ability to “hot-swap” spectrometers

between computers without entering the spectrometer coefficients manually on each computer.

About Ocean Optics Software

SpectraSuite is the latest generation of operating software for all Ocean Optics spectrometers. It is a

completely modular, Java-based spectroscopy software platform that operates on Windows, Macintosh

and Linux operating systems. The software can control any Ocean Optics USB spectrometer and device,

as well as any other manufacturer’s USB instrumentation using the appropriate drivers.

SpectraSuite is a user-customizable, advanced acquisition and display program that provides a real-time

interface to a variety of signal-processing functions. With SpectraSuite, you have the ability to perform

spectroscopic measurements (such as absorbance, reflectance, and emission), control all system

parameters, collect and display data in real time, and perform reference monitoring and time acquisition

experiments. Consult the SpectraSuite manual for hardware requirements when using SpectraSuite (see

Product-Related Documentation

Overture software is available for free for limited spectroscopy operating functionality such as absorbance

and transmission measurements (see Product-Related Documentation

OOIBase32 software has been discontinued, but still functions with the QE65 Pro Spectrometer. Consult

the OOIBase32 manual for hardware requirements when using OOIBase32 (see

Product-Related

Documentation).
