Installing the HR2000

Spectrometer Configuration Screen

The Spectrometer Configuration screen prompts you to configure specific channel-level spectrometer information,
if necessary.

Select Spectrometer | Configure | Wavelength Calibration tab from the menu and set system parameters. If
you have connected your spectrometer to the PC’s USB port, OOIBase32 pre-fills the coefficients for the HR2000
from information on a memory chip in the spectrometer. Otherwise, you must manually type the coefficients as
they are printed on the Wavelength Calibration Data Sheet that accompanied your spectrometer. Verify that the
calibration coefficients match the coefficients from the Wavelength Calibration Data Sheet. If necessary, modify
these values using the USB Programmer utility. Additionally, ensure that you select both the Master and Channel
Enabled
boxes.

In the A/D Interface tab, enter the same values as in the Configure Hardware dialog box. OOIBase32 stores this
information for future use once you close the program.

Note: For information on using the HR2000 with the OOIPS2000 Operating Software for the handheld PC, visit
