SeaBreeze OEM driver software from Ocean Optics saves OEMs time and money with a basic starting platform that can be customized for specific applications and instruments. The software delivers fast processing and is compact enough to be built directly into spectral libraries smaller than 500 k. The high speed is achieved by minimal overhead between requesting and reading out data. Also, the flexible software communicates with devices using different protocols and buses, and easily accommodates additional support for new features within existing devices. Its portable design enables it to be adapted to new platforms by providing a native implementation of the bus interfaces for the target. Intended for use by experienced C/C++ programmers, the software provides a starting point for developers who would otherwise have to create an equivalent device interface because existing options are too large or complex for their application. It supports most proprietary USB spectrometers for Linux and Windows operating systems and is extensible so developers can add required enhancements to increase functionality and device compatibility. Ocean Optics’ OEM engineering team provides integration support and can address any mechanical, software, optical or electronic integration need.
