UNPACKING THE Omni-
λ
SPECTROGRAPH
BEFORE unpacking the Omni-λ units, allow the shipping box to fully acclimatise to room
temperature.
Please read this manual carefully before using and always handle with the care accorded to
any precision instrument.
Whilst the Omni-λunits requires no special placement in a controlled environment it should
be noted that it is a precision instrument that will perform best when set up and operated
properly.

The Omni-λSpectrograph comes with a range of features including:
• Motorized, individually factory-calibrated systems, out-of-the-box operation and seamless
integration to experimental set-ups, Pre-aligned and pre-calibrated spectrograph.Functionality
including wavelength control and calibration, grating selection, shutter control slit control and
filter selection.
• Image astigmatism correction, Optimised toroidal optics for high density multi-track
capabilities(For imaging spectrograph).
• A USB 2.0 interface giving the user the benefit of 'plug-and-play' convenience.
• Interchangeable grating turret. This provides flexibility and convenience by giving the user a
simple way to change the gratings in the unit.
• Dual detector outputs,extract best optical resolution while allowing use of
single point detectors InGaAs, PbS, InSb & MCT, and also for CCD.
• A range of accessories including optical fibres and inputs, motorised filter wheel, additional
grating turrets, shutter.

INSTALLATION & OPERATION
USB SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
XP and Win7 system
1. Firstly ensure the Power switch on the
rear of the spectrograph is set to 0.
2. Connect the Power & USB cables.
NOTE: Do not switch on the spectrograph at
this stage.
3. Connect the other end of the USB cable
to the PC and plug in the power supply to
the mains, but do not switch the power on.
4. Put the CD into the PC CD-ROM,switch
the power on to the spectrograph.A dialog
box should then appear as the following:
5. Select the Install from a list or specific
location (Advanced) option then click
Next>. A dialog box similar to the following
should appear:
6. In the Browse Folder dialog box, find
the USB driver in the CD and install it.
IF your PC is 64-bit, please select USB
Driver-64 bit.
If the installation was successful, you can
skip the next steps, and use this equipment
normally.

4. Fitting the light source to the input slit. Then the system will be as Tunable Light Source.
We can supply Deuterium, Multiplex,Tungsten-Halogen and Xenon light source.
5. Fitting the detector to the output slit, we can supply Photomultiplier,Silicon Series
Detectors,InGaAs Series Detectors and so on.
6. Power on the light
source, spectrograph,
Data Acquire System,
using the CTL-C1or
Zolixscan software to
control the system.
Note:
If there are two entrance or exit slits, the monochromator has a transition mirror in it. It ’ s locked on
the bottom by one screw to keep the mirror from broken during transportation. Make sure take off
the screw before using.
3. Remove the input slit and
output slit covers from the
spectrograph, e.g.:
