In this short tutorial, we demonstrate the basic steps for assembling an optical pH dip probe from Ocean Optics. For more information on sensors from Ocean Optics, visit oceanopticssensors.com.
Q. Is is necessary to take a dark reading when the “Correct for Electrical Dark” box is checked in SpectraSuite?
A. Yes. When using any Processed mode, the dark reference must be saved by the user. When the electric dark correction is enabled, the program automatically adjusts for drift from that original dark taken. But, [...]
More →When using the PX2 in multiple mode with a USB2000+ the integration time should be an integer multiple of the continuous strobe delay, and the integration time must be set before setting the continuous strobe delay.
Example Set the integration time to 100msec, Then Set the continuous strobe delay to 25msec (100 being an integer [...]
More →The main source of stray light is grating shine, which is light scattering off the surface of the grating. Stray light is a small contribution to any errors in your spectra. Other sources of error in your experiment are almost always greater. In the vast majority of applications this correction is insignificant.
To correct for [...]

More →When utilizing the remote connection feature in a Jaz unit, it is important to have the correct IP address. Some have struggled with this concept so it is important to understand the basic IP information for your network prior to attempting to connect to your Jaz unit. An IP Address (Internet Protocol Address) is an [...]
More →Q. Can I use the wizards in SpectraSuite to do measurements with my multi-channel Jaz with attached light source?
More →Directions:
Warm up your light source about 20 minutes. Open SpectraSuite. Open a new graph (if there is none open). Open the shutter. You should see a spectrum of your light source. Adjust your integration time so that the peak is at about 85% of the maximum. (Please
note that you must use the [...]
Step by step tutorial for radiometric calibration of an Ocean Optics spectrometer using a bare fiber adapter. Users will have a calibrated system ready for taking measurements at the end of this video.
More →In this video, we break down the technology and the process of performing non-invasive measurements during red wine fermentation. Using NeoFox, we monitor oxygen in both the headspace and solution. Using the Ocean Optics USB2000+, we monitor the pH levels as the wine ferments.
More →Q. How do I reference the OmniDriver and SPAM COM libraries for OmniDriver in Visual Basic?
More →In this short video, we show you what it use to take to factory calibrate your spectrometer. Then, we compare that to the new Flash Calibration System, which simplifies the process to a single click!
