Ocean optics SR4 spectrometer (USB 4000)

Hi Jeonghwan,

maybe you have the same problem as discussed in this issue:

Unable to recognize Ocean optics 4000

Thanks for the further screenshots. The error that you get comes from this line in the code: Here, the driver tries to query the minimum integration time to later check that no smaller integration times are applied. However, it seems to fail although this code already worked for Ocean Optics USB4000 spectrometer. The good news so far is, that the driver is already able to create the self.spectrometer object which comes from the underlying python-seabreeze library that is shipped with the dri…

It could be that you need to install the OceanView software first that also installs the hardware driver for the spectrometer. Afterwards, you should find the Ocean optics spectrometer in the Windows device manager.

If this is already the case, it might be that the library python-seabreeze that we use to interface with Ocean Optics spectrometer does not support your newer spectrometer yet which would mean that we need to adapt our SweepMe! driver.

First, let’s make sure that your spectrometer is properly installed and shown in the Windows device manager. Can you run it with Ocean View software?

Best, Axel
