Warning

Sections marked by this symbol explain dangers that might result in

personal injury or death. Always read the associated information

carefully, before performing the indicated procedure.

Please read these advices carefully!

This manual also contains "NOTES" and "HINTS" written in this form.

Attention

Paragraphs preceded by this symbol explain hazards that could

damage the instrument and the connected equipment or may cause

loss of data.

Note

1 General Information

The CCS Series Spectrometer is designed for general laboratory use. Integrated routines allow

averaging, smoothing, peak indexing, as well as saving and recalling data sets.

Attention

Do not connect the CCS Series Spectrometer to a PC prior to installingh the OSA-SW

Application! The installation package includes CCS Series Spectrometer specific drivers and

software that must be installed before the CCS Series Spectrometer is connected to the PC for the

first time.

A troubleshooting section and detailed specifications of the various components are provided in

this manual. The description of the instrument driver commands can be found in the VXIpnp VISA

instrument driver package.

Application software OSA-SW

OSA-SW is an acronym for "Optical Spectrum Analyzer Software". This software can be used for

acquiring direct, transmittance and absorbance measurements in conjunction with Thorlabs' optical

spectrum analyzers and CCD spectrometers.

After the installation, the software is able to communicate with all Thorlabs CCD based CCS

Series Spectrometers and OSA20x Optical Spectrum Analyzers. Additionally, a number of virtual

devices are included to demonstrate the functionality of OSA-SW: five for OSA20x Analyzers and

one for CCS spectrometers.

1.1 Safety

Attention

The safety of any system incorporating the equipment is the responsibility of the

assembler of the system.

All statements regarding safety of operation and technical data in this instruction manual

will only apply when the unit is operated correctly as it was designed for.

The CCS Series Spectrometer must not be operated in explosion endangered

environments!

Do not obstruct the air ventilation slots in the housing!

Do not remove covers!

Do not open the cabinet. There are no parts serviceable by the operator inside!

This precision device is only serviceable if properly packed into the complete original

packaging including the plastic foam sleeves. If necessary, ask for replacement

packaging.

Refer servicing to qualified personnel!

Only with written consent from Thorlabs may changes to single components be made or

components not supplied by Thorlabs be used.

Attention

The following statement applies to the products covered in this manual, unless otherwise

specified herein. The statement for other products will appear in the accompanying

documentation.

CCS Series Spectrometer

Note This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A

digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide

reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a

commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio

frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction

manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this

equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the

user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

Users that change or modify the product described in this manual in a way not expressly

approved by Thorlabs (party responsible for compliance) could void the user’s authority

to operate the equipment.

Thorlabs is not responsible for any radio television interference caused by modifications

of this equipment or the substitution or attachment of connecting cables and equipment

other than those specified by Thorlabs. The correction of interference caused by such

unauthorized modification, substitution or attachment will be the responsibility of the

user.

The use of shielded I/O cables is required when connecting this equipment to any and all

optional peripheral or host devices. Failure to do so may violate FCC and ICES rules.

Attention

Mobile telephones, cellular phones or other radio transmitters are not to be used within

the range of three meters of this unit since the electromagnetic field intensity may then

exceed the maximum allowed disturbance values according to IEC61326-1.

This product has been tested and found to comply with the limits according to IEC61326-

1 for using connection cables shorter than 3 meters (9.8 feet).
