Sampling System Overview
How Sampling Works
Ocean Optics components function in a sampling system as follows:
1.
The user stores reference and dark measurements to correct for instrument response variables.
2.
The light transmits through an optical fiber to the sample.
3.
The light interacts with the sample.
4.
Another optical fiber collects and transmits the result of the interaction to the spectrometer.
5.
The spectrometer measures the amount of light and transforms the data collected by the
spectrometer into digital information.
6.
The spectrometer passes the sample information to the spectrometer operating software.
7.
The software compares the sample to the reference measurement and displays processed spectral
information.
Modular Sampling Accessories
Ocean Optics offers a complete line of spectroscopic accessories for use with the QE65 Pro. Most of our
spectroscopic accessories have SMA connectors for application flexibility. Accordingly, changing the
sampling system components is as easy as unscrewing a connector and replacing an accessory.
Interface Options
The QE65 Pro has both USB and serial port connectors (with the use of an adapter), enabling you to
connect the spectrometer to a desktop or notebook computer via a USB port or serial port. However, you
must create custom software if using the serial port. OceanViewsoftware is available if you are
connecting via the USB port.
