External Triggering Options

You can trigger the QE Pro using a variety of External Triggering options through the 30-pin Accessory

Connector on the spectrometer. See the External Triggering Options document located at

. The triggering document contains instructions for configuring

External Triggering options for the QE Pro.

Change the Slit

There’s no need to calibrate your spectrometer when changing the slit, just install and start measuring.

There is one exception to this. You cannot change from a standard slit to a slit with a filter because it changes the optical focus and wavelength calibration of the spectrometer. In this case you would need to send the spectrometer back to Ocean Optics. A filter must be ordered for each slit (if your application requires a filter) and the spectrometer needs to be calibrated and focused with the filter installed. This only applies to filters installed inside the slit assembly.
