System Requirements
You can use the USB2000+’s USB connectivity with any computer that meets the following
requirements:
• Operating system is one of the following:
• Windows – 98/Me/2000/XP
• Apple Macintosh – OS X version 10.0 or later
• Linux – Red Hat 9 or later, Fedora (any version), Debian 3.1 (Sarge), and SUSE (9.0 or
later)
• Ocean Optics’ SpectraSuite software application installed and configured for use.
EEPROM Utilization
An EEPROM memory chip in each USB2000+ contains wavelength calibration coefficients, linearity
coefficients, and a serial number unique to each individual spectrometer. The SpectraSuite 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 SpectraSuite
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.
