7. Record the Intercept, as well as the First, Second, and Third Coefficients. Additionally, look at
the value for R squared. It should be very close to 1. If not, you have most likely assigned one of
your wavelengths incorrectly.
Keep these values at hand.
Saving the New Calibration Coefficients: USB
Mode
Ocean Optics programs wavelength calibration coefficients unique to each Maya2000Pro Series
Spectrometer onto an EEPROM memory chip in the spectrometer.
You can overwrite old calibration coefficients on the EEPROM
using the Maya2000Pro Series
Spectrometer via the USB port.
►
Procedure
To save wavelength calibration coefficients using the USB mode, perform the following steps:
1. Ensure that the Maya2000Pro Series is connected to the PC and that you have closed all other
applications.
2. Point your browser to

scroll down to
Microcode
. Select
USB EEPROM Programmer
.
3. Save the setup file to your computer.
4. Run the
Setup.exe
file to install the software. The
Welcome
screen appears.
5. Click the
Next
button. The
Destination Location
screen appears.
6. Accept the default installation location, or click the
Browse
button to specify a directory. Then,
click the
Next
button. The
Program Manager Group
screen appears.
7. Click the
Next
button. The
Start Installation
screen appears.
8. Click the
Next
button to begin the installation. Once the installation finishes, the

Complete
screen appears.
9. Click the
Finish
button and reboot the computer when prompted.
10. Navigate to the
USB EEPROM Programmer
from the Start menu and run the software.
11. Click on the desired spectrometer displayed in the left pane of the
USB Programmer
screen.
12. Double-click on each of the calibration coefficients displayed in the right pane of the USB
Programmer screen and enter the new values acquired in Steps 5 and 6 of the
Wavelength of the Spectrometer
13. Repeat Step 12 for all of the new values.
14. Click on the
Save All Values
button to save the information, and then
Exit
the USB Programmer
software.
The new wavelength calibration coefficients are now loaded onto the EEPROM memory chip on the
Maya2000Pro Series Spectrometer.
