About OceanView
OceanView is the latest generation of operating software for all Ocean Optics spectral devices.
It is a Java-based spectroscopy software platform that operates on Windows, Macintosh and
Linux operating systems. The software can control any Ocean Optics USB device.
OceanView is a user-customizable, advanced acquisition and display program that provides a
real-time interface to a variety of signal-processing functions. With OceanView, 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 OceanView manual for hardware
requirements when using OceanView (see Product-Related Documentation).
Hardware Setup
The Flame Spectrometer connects to a computer via the USB port or serial port. When
connected through a USB 2.0 or 1.1 port, the spectrometer draws power from the host
computer, eliminating the need for an external power supply. The Flame, like all Ocean Optics
USB devices, can be controlled by our OceanView software (see Product-Related
Documentation).
