Spectroscopy Development Platform
More Than a Device Driver
OmniDriver is more than just a device driver – it’s a
driving force – a multi-platform software marvel that 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. A culmination of our best software driver
packages, 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 Jaz) 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.
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:
|
Windows |
Windows 2000, XP and Vista |
|
Macintosh |
OSX 10.4 or later |
|
Linux |
Red Hat 9 or later
Fedora Core, any version
Debian 3.1 (Sarge)
SUSE, 9.0 or later.
OmniDriver
will work with any Linux OS with a kernel 2.4.27 or later and
libusb 0.1.10 or later. |
“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). Did we mention that you don’t have to know Java?

SPAM |
Spectral Processing and Manipulation performs all
spectral processing math from subtracting dark to radiometric color
analysis. SPAM provides you with the ability to harness the power of
Ocean Optics’ spectral processing commands for your own applications
and does not require you to use Ocean Optics spectrometers or
hardware. SPAM is available as a stand-alone module or as part of
the OmniDriver package (OMNI+SPAM). |

HighResTiming |
Time stamping that is accurate to sub-microsecond
performance; great for chemical kinetics and other applications that
require complex time accountability. |
