Introduction

Product Overview

The Ocean Optics Red Tide Spectrometer is a preconfigured, off-the-shelf spectrometer where all of the
optical bench options such as grating, and entrance slit size are already selected. The red Tide can be used
with various Ocean optics spectrometer accessories, light sources and sampling optics to create
application-specific systems for various absorbance, reflection and emission applications.

The Red Tide is low-cost and has a small footprint, making it ideal as a general purpose instrument for
budget-conscious teaching and research labs. It has a wavelength range of 350–1000 nm and uses a
detector with 650 active pixels; that’s 650 data points in one full spectrum, or one data point per
nanometer.

Data programmed into a memory chip on each Red Tide includes wavelength calibration coefficients,
linearity coefficients, and the serial number unique to each spectrometer. Our spectrometer operating
software simply reads these values from the spectrometer — a feature that enables hot swapping of
spectrometers among computers.

The Red Tide Spectrometer connects to a computer via the USB port. When connected through a USB 2.0
or 1.1, the spectrometer draws power from the host computer, eliminating the need for an external power
supply. The Red Tide also interfaces to Pasco’s Xplorer GLX, a unique combination of datalogger and lab
analysis tool that eliminates the need for a computer.

The Red Tide, like all USB devices, can be controlled by our SpectraSuite software, a completely
modular, Java-based spectroscopy software platform that operates on Windows, Macintosh and Linux
operating systems.

EEPROM Utilization

An EEPROM memory chip in each Red Tide contains wavelength calibration coefficients, linearity
coefficients, and a serial number unique to each individual spectrometer. The SpectraSuite software
application reads these values directly from the spectrometer, enabling the ability to “hot-swap”
spectrometers between computers without entering the spectrometer coefficients manually on each
computer.

About SpectraSuite

SpectraSuite is the latest generation of operating software for all Ocean Optics 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 Optics USB spectrometer and device,
as well as any other manufacturer’s USB instrumentation using the appropriate drivers.

SpectraSuite is a user-customizable, advanced acquisition and display program that provides a real-time
interface to a variety of signal-processing functions. With SpectraSuite, you have the ability to 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 SpectraSuite manual for hardware requirements when using SpectraSuite (see

Product-Related Documentation).

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 from the light source 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 SpectraSuite.

7. SpectraSuite compares the sample to the reference measurement and displays processed spectral
information.

Modular Light Sources and Sampling Accessories

Ocean Optics offers a complete line of spectroscopic accessories for use with the Red Tide. 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. Available
accessories include the following:

 USB-ISS-UV-VIS Integrated Sampling System for Cuvettes (200–1100 nm)

 USB-ISS-VIS Integrated Sampling System for Cuvettes (390–900 nm)

 USB-LS-450 Pulsed Blue LED Module

2: Installing the Red Tide

If you installed SpectraSuite prior to connecting the Red Tide, the SpectraSuite installs the Red Tide
drivers. If the drivers do not successfully install (or if you connected the Red Tide to the computer before
installing SpectraSuite), consult

If you have followed the previous steps and started SpectraSuite, the spectrometer is already acquiring
data. Even with no light in the spectrometer, there should be a dynamic trace displayed in the bottom of
the graph. If you allow light into the spectrometer, the graph trace should rise with increasing light
intensity. This means the software and hardware are correctly installed.

Note the spectrometer(s) that you have installed are listed in the Data Sources pane of your SpectraSuite
software.

Once you install the software and hardware, and establish your sampling system, you are ready to take
measurements.
