OmniDriver is more than just a device driver. It’s a driving force!

This multi-platform software marvel eliminates OS-imposed boundaries and creates endless possibilities for those who demand absolute control of USB spectrometers (and Jaz via the Ethernet), accessories and devices in their optical sensing systems. OmniDriver lets you harness the power of high-speed data acquisition, spectral processing, data analysis, visual data representation and data flow in a single cross-platform driver. Integrate OmniDriver into your own software application for complete control over Ocean Optics USB spectrometers and other devices in virtually any environment.

OmniDriver provides drivers for LabVIEW version 7.1 and above to enable you to configure Ocean Optics spectrometers as real-time virtual instruments in National Instruments' LabVIEW graphical programming environment.

Version 2.20 Release
With release 2.20 of OmniDriver, we've added valuable new features to make your experience even better.

SpeedTest
A new C# sample, named SpeedTest, has been incorporated. This allows you to determine the maximum performance possible for your spectrometer model on the Windows operating system.

New Interpolation
Now, you can interpolate the response spectrum to obtain data points that correspond to each pixel of the sample spectrum.   Since the response spectrum is fairly smooth, this produces "good" data.  Plus, OmniDriver now uses LaGrange interpolation instead of linear or cubic spline interpolation.

Branding for Redistribution
Two new command line parameters have been added to the redistributable installers.   One new parameter allows you to override the company name of "Ocean Optics", replacing it with your  own company name.  The other new parameter allows you to override the product name of "OmniDriver",  replacing it with your own product name.  

Additional Signed Drivers
Drivers for the following devices have now been certified by WHQL.
This means they will install automatically when connected to your Windows 7 PC.
   - HR2000+
   - MayaPro2000
   - NIRQuest256/512

Developed in Java
OmniDriver was created in the Java environment and includes native libraries for select Windows, Macintosh and Linux operating systems. Using OmniDriver, you can develop robust applications to control multiple Ocean Optics USB and/ or Jaz spectrometers and direct-attach devices across these different operating systems. Ocean Optics is the first and only provider in the optical sensing industry to offer this level of cross-platform compatibility.

Why Java? Who Gives a Hill of Beans?
Java was designed as a platform-neutral development language, making it the perfect language for our customers who work in diverse industries, markets, environments and geographic areas. Applications written in Java are environment-independent; they can work across all operating systems. This is a very advantageous feature for product developers and OEMs wanting to expand their product offering with systems that work on multiple operating platforms.

Complete Platform & Device Independence
In developing OmniDriver, we took the Java philosophy a step further to create a device driver that is not only platform-independent, but also spectrometer-independent; the same Java code works with all Ocean Optics USB spectrometers and direct-attach devices.

OmniDriver can be used with these Operating Systems:

“I don’t know how to program in Java”
But chances are you know how to program in C, C++, C#, Pascal, Delphi, LabVIEW, Visual Basic or one of many Microsoft Office Applications. The bottom line is that you don’t need to know Java to use OmniDriver. Our wrapper libraries take care of the Java code; we provide Framework (Mac), Dynamic Link Library (Windows), Shared Object (Linux) and a .COM object (Windows).
