Introduction
The Ocean Insight QE
Pro
Spectrometer is a scientific-grade spectrometer with broadband sensitivity, from UV to NIR, making it
suitable for a wide range of applications. Its high sensitivity and thermoelectric cooler enable effective measurements at very low
light levels.

System Requirements
You can use the QE
Pro
’s USB
connectivity with any computer that meets the requirements for the spectroscopy application being
used.
Alternately, the QE
Pro
has a serial port for connecting to PCs and PLCs. However, this connection method requires an external
power supply to power the QE
Pro
, called the Breakout Box, and a serial cable.
EEPROM Utilization
Nonvolatile memory in each QE
Pro
contains wavelength calibration coefficients, linearity coefficients, and a serial number unique to
each individual spectrometer. Ocean Insight’s spectroscopy application reads these values directly from the spectrometer, ena
bling
the ability to “hot
-
swap” spectrometers between computers without entering the spectrometer coefficients manually on each
computer.
