SpectraSuite Spectroscopy Platform Software

In 1989, we revolutionized the optical sensing industry when we introduced the first-ever modular, miniature spectrometer. Now, with over 100,000 spectrometers sold and the experience of thousands of applications, we’ve kick-started the market again with SpectraSuite, the first modular, OS-independent spectroscopy software platform.

Spectroscopy on Any Operating System

SpectraSuite is a modular, Java-based spectroscopy software platform that operates on Windows, Macintosh and Linux operating systems. The software can control any Ocean Optics USB spectrometer and device, as well as any other manufacturer’s USB instrumentation (using the appropriate drivers). The SpectraSuite interface looks and feels the same on all operating systems yet retains the familiar appearance of an application native to each OS. Ocean Optics is the first to offer such a flexible, feature-packed application with this level of cross-platform capability.

Our Platform for the Future

SpectraSuite is the platform for all future Ocean Optics application software development. Current software applications including OOIChem, OOIColor and OOIIrrad-C have been migrated to the SpectraSuite platform, with applications such as OOISensors and OOILIBS coming in the near future in the near future.

Ultimate USB Spectrometer & Device Control

SpectraSuite easily manages multiple USB spectrometers – each with different acquisition parameters – in multiple windows, and provides graphical and numeric representation of spectra from each spectrometer. Using SpectraSuite, you can combine data from multiple sources for applications that include upwelling/downwelling measurements, dual-beam referencing and process monitoring.

Modular Framework

The SpectraSuite framework is modular. Among the modules that have been released to date are the core files, Absolute Irradiance, and Strip Charts. You or your Ocean Optics application developer can customize SpectraSuite through Java code.

Advanced Data Capture Control

SpectraSuite provides the user with advanced control of episodic data capture attributes. For instance, a user can acquire data for a fixed number of scans or for a specific interval. Initiation of each scan can be externally triggered or event-driven. Captured data is quickly stored into system memory at speeds as fast as 1 scan per millisecond, with speeds limited by hardware performance.

SpectraSuite in the Future

SpectraSuite is constantly evolving. Be sure to check for updates via SpectraSuite's Update Center. With the purchase of SpectraSuite, you are entitled to one year of free, web-based automatic upgrades. Future enhancements will include:

• 21 CFR Part 11 compliance - SpectraSuite will soon be 21 CFR Part 11 compliant with an encoded binary file. This binary data format tracks the complete history of all processing steps that are performed on the data.

• "Process do-overs" - You will be able to change the values of various parameters in a process and apply those changes to data without having to recreate an entire process.

• Data storage in any format - SpectraSuite will provide a database module to store arbitrary data in any user-selectable format

• Full internationalization - All of the software’s menus, dialog boxes, prompts, messages and files will be able to reflect a native language by simply changing a single file.
