This section provides information on the operating environment and physical components of the LS-450.
Functionally similar to the LS-450, the USB-LS-450 attaches directly to the accessory connector of the
USB4000-FL or the USB2000-FL Spectrometer. Its small-footprint design combines with the portability
of the USB spectrometer to form a complete, self-contained light source and spectrometer combination.
The USB-LS-450 features the following design innovations:
 Simplified LED-Spectrometer Interface – USB-LS-450 connects to the USB2000 Spectrometer,
which connects directly to the USB port of any desktop or notebook PC.
 Small Footprint – USB-LS-450 and spectrometer combination is about the size of a deck and a
half of playing cards.
 On-board Memory for O2 Measurements – FOXY Fiber Optic Oxygen Sensor users can
conveniently store oxygen and temperature calibration coefficients.
 No External Power Requirements – Spectrometer and USB-LS-450 draw power from the host
PC.
