Vernier Spectro Pro - Manual (Page 11)

12 Spectro Pro
If you have a USB-only computer, you may consider using one of the
following options:
1. For Macintosh computers, attach a Keyspan USB Twin Serial
Adapter*, Part #USA-28x (for information, see
www.keyspan.com) .
Note: Use Printer Port port selection.
2. For PC computers, attach a Keyspan High Speed USB Adapter*,
Part #USA-19W (for information, see
www.keyspan.com) . Note:
Use COM 3 port selection.
3. If you have an analog Spec 20 or Spec 20+ (or a Spec 20D or D+,
which have analog as well as digital capability), you can connect to
Channel 1 or a LabPro Interface using the SPC-BTA cable. Note:
The LabPro interface itself can connect to the USB port of a
Macintosh or PC computer and use Spectro Pro software.
Following the manufacturer’s directions, turn on your
spectrophotometer.
Locate the Spectro Pro icon and double-click on it, or use the Start menu
(Windows 95/98/NT/ME). If the most recently used spectrophotometer
or interface is not detected, the Setup Interface Box will appear on your
screen.
Select the port to which your spectrophotometer or interface is
connected, and click on the Scan button. An icon representing your
interface or spectrophotometer will appear in the toolbar. (Note: your
spectrophotometer must be turned on for this to be successful.) When
this has occurred, click on the OK button in the Setup Interface box. You
will see the following screen on your monitor.
