Due to the light being controlled by all six channels when you enable the light through the SpectraSuite wizard, you will not be able to get all six channels set up with the standard method of enabling the light in SpectraSuite. There is a method of setting the six channels in SpectraSuite, but you must [...]

When utilizing the remote connection feature in a Jaz unit, it is important to have the correct IP address.  Some have struggled with this concept so it is important to understand the basic IP information for your network prior to attempting to connect to your Jaz unit.  An IP Address (Internet Protocol Address) is an [...]

We’re happy to announce the latest specifications for Jaz – effective July 15, 2008. You’ll see improved battery life as well as information on Dynamic Range and Integration Time.

We’re looking forward to posting plenty of video tutorials and tips in this section and, trust us, they’re coming soon!
In the meantime, we thought you might enjoy a chuckle.
Eric Manche, video producer and designer, gave us a hand with storyboarding an idea for a Jaz introduction video.
Here’s the not-so-serious production he came up with.

Measuring solar irradiance is a popular application with our customers. Some measure the UV-VIS spectra while others like to measure the complete range from approximately 200 nm to 2500 nm.
In this experiment, we’ll measure relative irradiance of solar light. Normally, one would measure absolute irradiance but not this time around!
The setup looks like this:

Jaz Spectrometer
CC-3 [...]

Biologists are very interested to see what part of the spectrum is absorbed by various leaves (photosynthesis).
Here, we’ll do a quick setup which allows us to measure this absorbance using the Jaz spectrometer and a reference lightsource.
This setup has the following:

Jaz Spectrometer
Jaz Battery Pack
Collimating lens 74-UV DA (Direct Attach) or 74-UV with fiber
WS1 Reflection standard

And, [...]

Jaz is truly the modular optical sensing platform that easily integrates multi-point spectral sampling and reference monitoring into process streams and other sample environments.

Jaz combines the power of optical sensing with onboard computing power for custom applications ranging from crop management and water analysis to UV radiation and ozone monitoring.

Valuable real-time data can now be collected in a variety of settings with the Jaz, a handheld, field-portable analytical instrument from Ocean Optics that combines the power of optical sensing with onboard computing power.  The level of flexibility Jaz provides will change analysis in custom applications ranging from crop management and environmental analysis to UV [...]
