About Ocean Insight Software
For the most up to date software, please refer to
OceanView is the general-purpose spectroscopy software for all Ocean Insight 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 Insight spectrometer and 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 can 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.
