I connected the USB cable and started OceanView but I don’t see
my spectrometer attached.
Use the Rescan button in the Device Manager to rescan for attached devices.
I am having trouble installing the drivers, what should I do?
Hardware device driver installation is usually seamless on Microsoft Windows operating systems
and should happen in the background when you connect your spectrometer to a computer with
the software installed. However, some Windows systems require a bit more care when
connecting your spectrometer for the first time.
