Introduction
Software and Serial Port Interface Installation
Light Sources
Ocean Optics miniature fiber op tic spectrometer s and accessori es h ave revolut ionized the analytical
instrumentation market by dramatically reducing the size and cost of optical sensing systems. More than
10,0 0 0 Ocean Optics spectromet ers have been sold worl d wide -- stri king evidence of t he far-reaching
impact of low-cost, minia ture componen ts for fiber op tic spectroscopy. Di verse field s s u ch as research and
development, industrial process contr ol, medical diagnostics and environmental monitoring have benefited
from access to Ocean Optics technology.
The Modular Approach
A typical Ocean Op tics small- fo ot p rint system compr ises of five basi c elements: a Miniat ure Fiber Op tic
Spectrometer , an A/D converter , our operatin g software, a light or ex citation source, and sa mp ling optics .
The light or excitation source supplies light through the illumination or excitation fiber to the sample and
then li ght interacts with the sample. The light is then collected and transmitted through the r ead fiber to th e
spectrometer . Th e s p ectromet er measures the amount of li gh t and the A/D converter transform s the analog
data collected by the spectrometer into digital information that is passed to the software, providing the user
with application-specific information.
This modular approach -- components are easily mixed and matched -- offers remarkable applications
flexibility. Users pick and choose from hundreds of products to create distinctive systems for an almost
endless variety of optical-sensing applications.
S1024DW Miniature Fiber Optic Spectrometer
The S1024DW Deep Well Detector Spectrometer is a 1024-element photodiode array detector for those
applications requiring extremely high signal-to-noise (2000:1) measurements. With the S1024DW, the user
can ach ieve micro-absorbance unit r esol ution. In fa ct, the user can relia bl y see an absorbance change of less
than 0.00001 absorbance units. Furthermore, the S1024DW can be multiplexed with up to 8 spectrometer
channels and is ideal for high light level applications such as dissolution testing.
The S1024DW accepts light energy tran sm itted thr ough singl e- s tr and optical fiber and disper ses it via a
fixed grating across the photodiode array, which is responsive from 200-1100 nm. An SMA 905 connector
allows for easy coupling to an extensive line of fiber optic light sources, probes, chemical sensors, and
other spectrophotometric accessor ies.
SAD500 Serial Port Interface
The S1024DW interfaces to our SAD500 Serial Port Interface, a 12-bit, 8-channel, microprocessor-controlled
A/D con verter with a 500 kHz sampl ing frequency. The SA D5 00 can be used to interface to desktop or
portable PCs, as well as to PLCs and other devices that support the RS-232 communication protocol. The
SAD500 A/D converter allows the S1024DW spectrometer to acquire spectra using integration times as rapid
as 31 millisecond s . For incr ea s ed s p eed , the SAD500 can be software configured to transmit only a por tion of
the spectra or the averages of multiple spectral acquisitions, or a combination of both.
OOIBase32 Spectrometer Operating Software
OOIBase3 2 Spectrom eter Opera ting Software is our n ext g en eration of oper ating softwa re for all Ocean
Optics spectrometers. OOIBase32 is a 32-bit, user-customizable, advanced acquisition and display program
that provides a r eal-time interface t o a variety of signal-processin g functions for Windows 95/98 and
Windows NT users. With OOIBase32, you have the ability to perform spectroscopic measurements such as
absorba nce, refl ectance an d emission ; control all system parameters; collect data from up t o 8 spectrometer
channels simultaneously and display the results in a single spectral window; and perform reference
monito r ing and time acq uisition experiments .

Software and Serial Port Interface Installation
Step 1: Interface the SAD500 to your PC
The SAD5 00 Serial Por t Interface is a microprocessor-controlled A/D converter for s er ial port connection
or stand-alone operation. The SAD500 can be used to interface to desktop or portable PCs, PLCs, and other
devices that support the RS-232 communication protocol. Interfacing the SAD500 to a desktop or portable
PC is simple.
1. If you ordered your SAD500 mounted onto your S1024DW spectrometer, simply connect the 6-pin
DIN end of the ser i al cable to the SAD 500 and the DB9 end to your PC. S ome PCs ma y require a 9 -pin
to 25-pin c onver ter (not in cluded ). If you ordered your SAD 500 in its own housing, attach the 25- pin
conductor ribbon cable from the S1024DW-series spectrometer to the SAD500. Then connect the 6-pin
DIN end of the ser i al cable to the SAD 500 and the DB9 end to your PC.
2. For either configuration, note the serial port number (also called COM Port) on the PC to which you
are interfacing. (Older PCs may not have numbered ports.)
3. Plug th e +12VDC wall tr ansformer into an outl et and connect it to the SAD50 0.

Ocean Optics light sources provide illumination and excitation sources in the UV, VIS or Shortwave
NIR ran g e for absorban ce or reflection measurement s, d iscrete line spectra for waveleng th calibrations,
and cal ibrated a bsol u te inten s ity standards for irra diance measurement s. Wall transformers are
supplied for laboratory use. Except for the deuterium lamps, all sources are powered by +12 VDC to
facilitate their use in the field. The S1024DW accepts light energy and disp erses it via a fi xed grating
across the array, which is responsive from 200-1100 nm. Though some light sources emit energy
<200 nm, or emit energy to 2

Operation
Allow several minutes for the lamp to warm up and for the power to stabilize, regardless of the bulb being
used. Best results are obtained after 30 min u tes. The sp ectral output as delivered by an optical fiber will
decrease significantly at wavelengths lower than 230 nm due to attenuation in the lamp envelope, the
decrease in detect or efficiency in the spectrom eter, and att enuation b y the fiber.

Operation
The lamp is triggered with TTL pulses delivered through the 15-pin connector located at the rear of the
unit. Our S1024DW- s eries spectrometers and software, or any sour ce o f TTL signa ls, supplies these pul s es.
The lamp is powered by a 12V DC transformer, or from a 12V battery if field use is desired.
1. Plug the wall transformer into a 110V outlet. Plug the other end of the cord into the jack at the rear of
the PX- 2 .
2. Install the 15-p in cable int o the rear of the PX-2. Conn ect the other end to the 15-pin connect or on an

Single Flash Mode
Using the Single flash mode results in one flash per integration cycle. Since the PX-2 has a maximum
repetition rate of 220 Hz, the minimum integration allowed in this mode is 31 milliseconds.

Multiple Flash Mode
When u sing the Multi p le flash mode the user needs to ensur e tha t a constant nu m ber of flashes occurs for
every integration cycle by setting the pulse rate and integration time. This achieves a continuous and stable
signal. The pulse rate is determined by a jumper setting inside the S1024DW (JP3). The integration time is
controlled via the operating softwar e. To achieve a constant n um ber of flash es p er integration cycle, the
integration time must be a multiple of those shown in the following table:

Calibration
Users can perform wa vel ength calibrati on wi th a spreadsheet progr am such as Microsoft Excel , or a
calculator that performs polynomial regressions. The following describes how to calibrate the wavelength
of your spectrometer using the HG-1. Though each spectrometer is calibrated before it leaves Ocean
Optics, the wavelength for all spectrometers will drift slightly as a function of time and environmental
conditions. To recalibrate the wavelength of your spectrometer, just follow these simple steps.
What You Are Doing:
