Chapter 1
Introduction
Product Overview
Jaz is a community of stackable, modular and autonomous component modules that combine to create a
community of smart sensing instruments that is unfettered by the limits of traditional optical sensing
instrumentation: a powerful microprocessor and onboard display eliminate the need for a PC; stackable,
autonomous instrument modules allow users to customize the system to their changing application needs;
and Ethernet connectivity plus SD card data storage capability facilitate remote operation.
Jaz is built on a platform that expands to include a light source, rechargeable lithium-ion battery and up to
8 spectrometer modules to make Jaz the first analytical instrument easily adaptable for the field, lab or
process environment. Jaz can also connect to a computer via the USB port. When connected through a
USB 2.0 or 1.1, the spectrometer draws power from the host computer. Jaz, like all USB devices, can be
controlled by our OceanView software.
Jaz is extremely adaptable. It can be powered via battery, USB connection, over the Ethernet, or from a
power outlet. The Jaz display can be rotated 180 degrees in either direction, and the faceplate itself can be
specified for either orientation. You can order the specific modules needed for your particular application
to be built in the Jaz stack, making Jaz a uniquely customizable scientific instrument and eliminating the
cost of unnecessary components.
Stack of Jaz Modules

1: Introduction
2013-RD000-000-02-201510

System Requirements
You can use the Jaz USB connectivity with any computer that meets the following requirements:
Microsoft Windows –Windows 2000/XP/7; 32-bit and 64-bit and Windows Vista (32-bit only)
Apple Macintosh –version 10.5 Intel or later
Linux –Any version released for an x86 or amd64 platform since 2010
Ocean Optics’spectrometer operating software application installed and configured for use.
EEPROM Utilization
An EEPROM memory chip in each JAZ-S spectrometer module contains wavelength calibration
coefficients, linearity coefficients, and a serial number unique to each individual spectrometer module.
The OceanView software application reads these values directly from the spectrometer, enabling the
ability to “hot-swap” spectrometers between computers without entering the spectrometer coefficients
manually on each computer.
About OceanView Software
Although Jaz is unique in that it can perform a number of spectroscopy measurements and display results
right on its display screen, OceanView spectrometer operating software is also available to enhance Jaz’s
functionality. OceanView is the latest generation of operating software for all Ocean Optics
spectrometers. It is a 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.
OceanView is a user-customizable, advanced acquisition and display program that provides a real-time
interface to a variety of signal-processing functions. With OceanView, you have the ability to perform
spectroscopic measurements (such as absorbance, reflectance, and emission), control all system
parameters, collect and display data in real time, and perform reference monitoring and time acquisition
experiments. Consult the OceanView manual for hardware requirements when using OceanView (see
Product-Related Documentation).

Sampling System Overview
How Sampling Works
Ocean Optics components function in a sampling system as follows:
1. The user stores reference and dark measurements to correct for instrument response variables.
2. The light from the light source transmits through an optical fiber to the sample.
3. The light interacts with the sample.
4. Another optical fiber collects and transmits the result of the interaction to the spectrometer.
5. The spectrometer measures the amount of light and transforms the data collected by the
spectrometer into digital information.
6. The spectrometer passes the sample information to OceanView.
7. OceanView compares the sample to the reference measurement and displays processed spectral
information.
Interface Options
Jaz is field-portable and can collect data as a free-standing unit from the battery embedded in the stack.
The Jaz stack also has both USB and Ethernet port connectors, enabling you to connect the spectrometer
to a computer via a USB port or to the network via a connection from the Ethernet port to a Power Over
Ethernet (POE) bridge or a switch to the network (e.g., a network hub). Your Jaz stack receives power
from either connection, and both connections enable Jaz to be recognized by OceanView software.
Shipment Components
Jaz is a scalable system, allowing you to design the instrument most appropriate for your application.
However, a typical Jaz system could consist of the following components:
Packing List
The packing list is inside a plastic bag attached to the outside of the shipment box (the invoice
arrives separately). It lists all items in the order, including customized components in the
spectrometer (such as the grating, detector collection lens, and slit). The packing list also includes
the shipping and billing addresses, as well as any items on back order.

1: Introduction
013-RD000-000-02-201510 5
Jaz Stack
Usually consists of up to eight spectrometer modules (JAZ-S), a CPU module (JAZ-DPU), a
battery/memory module (JAZ-B), and an Ethernet/SD module (JAZ-E).
Mini USB Cable (USB-CBL-MINI)
Use this cable to connect your Jaz spectrometer module to a computer running on a Windows,
Mac or Linux operating system.
Ethernet Cable (if an Ethernet module is included)
A 14-foot cable to connect the JAZ-E module to a bridge or switch to access the network.
Power Supply (USB-CBL-PS)
A 5 V power supply to provide an extra power source in addition to the battery, USB power and
POE (Power Over Ethernet).
Wavelength Calibration Data Sheet
Each spectrometer is shipped with a Wavelength Calibration Data Sheet that contains information
unique to your spectrometer. OceanView Operating Software reads this calibration data from
your spectrometer when it interfaces to a computer via the USB port.
Note
Please save the Wavelength Calibration Data Sheet for future reference.

Chapter 2
Installing Jaz
Overview
Your Jaz unit is field-portable and can collect data as a free-standing unit from the battery embedded in
the stack. You also have two options for connecting Jaz to a computer to process the data you have
collected:
A USB connection directly to a computer running OceanView.
An Ethernet connection to a computer network.
Note
Your Jaz unit receives power from either connection.
If you have purchased OceanView software, you must install it prior to connecting Jaz Spectrometer to a
computer. The OceanView software installation installs the drivers required for Jaz. If you do not install
OceanView first, the computer will not properly recognize Jaz. Follow the prompts in the OceanView
installer wizard.
If you have already connected Jaz to a computer running on a Windows platform prior to installing
OceanView, consult Jaz Connected to Computer Prior to OceanView Installation for information on
correcting a corrupt Jaz installation.
Caution
Connect all cables before powering-on your Jaz unit. Install Jaz in the following
order:
1. Connect the external power supply (if used).
2. Open OceanView.
3. Connect the USB cable between Jaz and your computer (if used).
4. Press F5 to display Jaz in OceanView.

2: Installing Jaz

Installing the Jaz Unit
This section contains instructions for connecting Jaz directly to a computer through the USB port or to the
network through the Ethernet port.
Connecting Jaz to a Computer via USB
►Procedure
1. Connect the USB (B) cable that you received with your Jaz unit from the JAZ-DPU module to
your computer.
2. When first connecting Jaz to your computer, you must run the Hardware Wizard for your PC to
recognize the new hardware. For Mac users, this step is not necessary.
3. In OceanView, use the Device Manager for your Jaz unit to be recognized in the OceanView
software.
Ethernet Connection
You can connect Jaz to the network via the Ethernet port on the JAZ-E module. A ferrite is provided with
your JAZ-E Ethernet module to be used in the event that you experience interference with any electronic
devices.
►Procedure
Follow the steps below to connect the port on the Jaz Ethernet & Memory module to a Power Over
Ethernet (POE) bridge or a switch to the network (e.g., an 8-port network hub):
1. Find the Ethernet cable and the ferrite that you received in your Jaz package.
