NOTE

Be sure to install the spectroscopy software BEFORE connecting the spectrometer to your PC. The software installs the drivers required for spectrometer 

installation. If you do not install the software first, the system will not properly recognize the spectrometer. If you have already installed the Ocean ST to 

a computer running on a Windows platform prior to installing the operating software, consult the Troubleshooting section for information on correcting a 

corrupt Ocean ST installation.

Installation and Setup

2

Software Installation

Use OceanView version 2.0.10 and above for Ocean ST. You can use OceanView on the following operating systems:

Consult the OceanView manual for computer hardware requirements.

Windows

Mac

8

8.1

10

OS X Version 10.5 or later on  

Intel processor

*Software may run with previous operating systems but Ocean Insight does not actively support these installations.

NOTE

Be sure that you download the correct software package for your computer version (32 or 64-bit). See Frequently Asked Questions in Troubleshooting 

for more information on determining your computer version.
