Chapter 1 Introduction Product Overview The HR2000+ High-Speed Miniature Fiber Optic Spectrometer provides optical resolution as good as 0.035 nm (FWHM). The HR2000+ is responsive from 200-1100 nm, but the specific range and resolution depends on your grating and entrance slit selections. With its capability of transferring 1ms spectra continuously, the HR2000+ is the fastest spectrometer available from Ocean Optics.
1: Introduction System Requirements You can use the HR2000+’s USB connectivity with any PC that meets the following requirements: Windows 98/Me/2000/XP operating system (or Windows CE 2.11 or later for handheld PCs) Ocean Optics SpectraSuite or OOIBase32 software application installed and configured for use with the HR2000+. See Chapter 2: Installing the HR2000+ for specific configuration instructions.
1: Introduction 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 Sampling Accessories Ocean Optics offers a complete line of spectroscopic accessories for use with the HR2000+.
1: Introduction Shipment Components The following information and documentation ships with the HR2000+ Spectrometer: Packing List The packing list is inside a plastic bag attached to the outside of the shipment box (the invoice arrives separately). It lists all items in the order, including customized components in the spectrometer (such as the grating, detector collection lens, and slit). The packing list also includes the shipping and billing addresses, as well as any items on back order.
Chapter 2 Installing the HR2000+ Overview You must install the software application prior to connecting the HR2000+ Spectrometer to the PC. The software installation installs the drivers required for HR2000+ installation. If you do not install the software first, the system will not properly recognize the HR2000+. If you have already connected the HR2000+ to the PC prior to installing the software, consult Chapter 3: Troubleshooting for information on correcting a corrupt HR2000+ installation.
2: Installing the HR2000+ Once you install the SpectraSuite software and the hardware, and establish your sampling system, you are ready to take measurements. Configuring the HR2000+ with OOIBase32 Once you install the HR2000+ with OOIBase32 software, you must configure OOIBase32’s Configure Spectrometer options so that OOIBase32 recognizes the HR2000+ Spectrometer.
2: Installing the HR2000+ ► Procedure To configure hardware in USB Mode: 1. Specify S2000 in the Spectrometer Type drop-down menu. 2. Specify HR2000+ in the A/D Converter Type drop-down menu. 3. Specify the serial number of the HR2000+ under the USB Serial Number drop-down menu. Note The system pre-fills this drop-down menu with the serial numbers of all discovered HR2000+ Spectrometers. 4. Click the OK button to accept the selected options. 5.
2: Installing the HR2000+ 3. Verify that the calibration coefficients match the coefficients from the Wavelength Calibration Data Sheet that accompanied the spectrometer. If necessary, modify these values using the USB Programmer utility. 4. Additionally, ensure that you select both the Master and Channel Enabled boxes. 5. In the A/D Interface tab, enter the same values as in the Configure Hardware screen. OOIBase32 stores this information for future use once you close the program.
Chapter 3 Troubleshooting Overview The following sections contain information on troubleshooting issues you may encounter when using the HR2000+ Spectrometer. HR2000+ Connected to PC Prior to Software Installation Windows Operating Systems If you connected your Ocean Optics USB device to the computer prior to installing your Ocean Optics software application, you may encounter installation issues that you must correct before your Ocean Optics device will operate properly.
3: Troubleshooting Remove the Unknown Device from Windows Device Manager ► Procedure 1. Open Windows Device Manager. Consult the Windows operating instructions for your computer for directions, if needed. 2. Locate the Other Devices option and expand the Other Devices selection by clicking on the "+" sign to the immediate left. Note Improperly installed USB devices can also appear under the Universal Serial Bus Controller option. Be sure to check this location if you cannot locate the unknown device. 3.
3: Troubleshooting 7. Plug in the USB device. The system is now able to locate and install the correct drivers for the USB device. Mac Operating Systems Since there are no device files for the USB2000-FLG Spectrometer in a Mac operating system, you should not encounter any problems if you installed the spectrometer before the SpectraSuite software. Linux Operating Systems For Linux operating systems, all you need to do is install the SpectraSuite software, then unplug and replug in the spectrometer.

Appendix A Calibrating the Wavelength of the HR2000+ Overview This appendix describes how to calibrate the wavelength of your spectrometer. 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. Ocean Optics recommends periodically recalibrating the HR2000+.
A: Calibrating the Wavelength of the HR2000+ Calibrating the Spectrometer Preparing for Calibration To recalibrate the wavelength of your spectrometer, you need the following components: A light source capable of producing spectral lines Note Ocean Optics’ HG-1 Mercury-Argon lamp is ideal for recalibration. If you do not have an HG-1, you need a light source that produces several (at least 4-6) spectral lines in the wavelength region of your spectrometer.
A: Calibrating the Wavelength of the HR2000+ Values Computed from the Regression Output Independent Dependent Variables Variable True Wavelength (nm) Pixel # Pixel # 2 Pixel # 3 Predicted Wavelength Difference 253.65 296.73 302.15 313.16 334.15 365.02 404.66 407.78 435.84 546.07 576.96 579.07 696.54 706.72 727.29 738.40 751.
A: Calibrating the Wavelength of the HR2000+ 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 HR2000+ onto an EEPROM memory chip in the HR2000+.
A: Calibrating the Wavelength of the HR2000+ Saving the New Calibration Coefficients: Serial Mode If you are connecting the HR2000+ Spectrometer to the serial port of the PC, you need to save the new wavelength calibration coefficients to the .SPEC file that OOIBase32 accesses when opened. Note You cannot save the calibration coefficients to the EEPROM memory chip on the HR2000+ when using the serial mode.
