How to check the spectrometer serial number

You can identify your spectrometer serial number either by checking the physical label on the instrument or by using software tools like OceanView.Using Software to Retrieve the Serial NumberIf your spectrometer is connected to a computer, software such as OceanView can display the serial number:Open OceanView and select the Schematic Window.Highlight your instrument icon and double-click it.A window will appear showing your instrument configuration, firmware version, and serial number .
