For systems that are already capable of communicating using Bluetooth, such as a PDA, tablet computer,
laptop, or smart phone, the adapters can be used individually. This allows you to share one or more data
acquisition devices, each equipped with this adapter, among several users. When using the adapter
individually, application software (possibly custom, not included) is required for your device to
communicate with the Bluetooth module.
External power must be supplied to each Bluetooth module for operation. A suitable 5 volt power supply
(USB-CBL-PS) is available from Ocean Optics (see
Additional Equipment Available
below), or you
may supply 5 volt power directly from your system using a power cable (available from Digi-Key, see
Additional Equipment Available
below) or from your system using Pin 9 on the data connector.

SERIAL-BT-ADP Installation
Installing the adapter consists of the following main steps:
Configuring the SERIAL-BT-ADP by setting the configuration switches
Connecting the adapter to your computer’s serial port
Setting the Configuration Switches
The SERIAL-BT-ADP adapters have a set of configuration switches on the top. Using a paperclip or
small screwdriver, you must set these switches to the serial baud rate being used by your spectrometer as
described below. The following settings assume that a pair of units are being used: one male and one
female (SERIAL-BT-ADP).
