2 Spectrometer Overview
The OIW-EX Series fitted with a Spectrometer enhances the functionality of the standard unit
by incorporating an optical spectrum analyser unit which allows for enhanced analyses of the
produced water in the sample chamber.
The following OIW-EX Series models all have Spectrometer fitted as standard:
• OIW-EX1000,
• OIW-EX1000P and
• OIW-EX4000.
Advanced Sensors software suite includes SpAn. The SpAn software tool simplifies the
analysis of multiple optical scans.
As with all data logs generated by the OIW-EX Series of products the spectrum analyser files
are created in generates industry standard .csv file format allowing the user the flexibility to
analyse the data in a tool of their choosing.
The following sections will detail the operation of the spectrum analyser unit and will provide
details on how to use the SpAn software – details will also be provided on the file format
should the use wish to analyse the data with alternative tools.

Date: 18 March 2010
2.1 Identifying an OIW EX Series Unit with a Spectrometer

The OIW-EX 100 software, see Figure 2, can be distinguished from the OIW-EX Series with
Spectrometer fitted, see Figure 1, primarily by the software header box, which clearly
identifies unit type in its header, shown below.
The following OIW-EX Series models all have Spectrometer fitted as standard1:
• OIW-EX1000,
• OIW-EX1000P and
• OIW-EX4000.
Figure 1. OIW-EX100 software
Figure 2. OIW-EX1000 software
The following sections will detail the operation of the spectrum analyser unit and will provide
details on how to use the SpAn software – details will also be provided on the file format
should the use wish to analyse the data with alternative tools.

Though out the rest of this Handbook the term OIW-EX1000 is used; but this also covers all OIW-EX Series
with a Spectrometer fitted; i.e. OIW-EX1000, OIW-EX1000P and OIW-EX4000.

Date: 18 March 2010
2.2 Showing and Hiding the Spectrum

The graph panel of the OIW-EX 1000 software will allow you to switch between showing the
oil ppm level, the spectrum of the oil or both, see Figure 3.
Figure 3. View of OIW EX1000 PPM/PPB and Spectrum
Clicking the “Spectra” button, see Figure 3c, when the oil ppm level is displayed, will display
the Spectra screen on view, see Figure 3d.
Clicking the “Hide” button, see Figure 3d, when Spectra view is displayed will display the oil
ppm level, see Figure 3c.
Clicking the button, see Figure 3e, when Spectra view is displayed will display the oil
ppm level and the Spectra, see Figure 3f.
Clicking the button, see Figure 3f, when the oil ppm level and Spectra are displayed will
display just the oil ppm level, see Figure 3c.

Date: 18 March 2010
2.3 Spectrum Reading Cycle

As with the oil detection system the spectrum analyser requires the laser light as an
illumination source therefore the analyser will not operate when the measurement cycle is in
the stopped position.
The spectrum analyser can take a reading based on any one of three conditions:
• The OIW System software periodically requests a reading – based on a user selectable
time period;
• The PPM level rises above the “User Set” trigger level;
• The user manually requests a reading.
Each of these trigger conditions will be discussed in more detail below but the reading cycle
remains the same for each condition.
The user can have any combination of trigger conditions including all conditions at the same
time i.e. the system can be set to trigger a reading every hour and trigger a reading if 100ppm is
exceeded and select a manual reading. Note: only one reading will be taken at a time.

Date: 18 March 2010
2.4 Spectra Control Options

The spectrum analyser controls can be accessed via the Oil Calibration Settings and
Configuration Options tabs once you have logged in to the configuration menu,
see Figure 4.
Figure 4. Spectrometer Controls
NOTE: if the spectrometer was not detected or if communications between the main
OIW system and the spectrum analyser are lost the Take Spectra button is replaced
with the word Fault.

Date: 18 March 2010
2.4.1 Spectrometer Standard Creation

Under the Oil Calibration Settings tab is an option to create a Spectrometer standard. Future
Spectrometer reading may be compared with this standard and an alarm may be raised if the
composition of the oil changes significantly.
Figure 5. Scheduled Auto Settings
2.4.1.1 What is a Spectrometer Standard

A Spectrum Standard is the “overall shape” of the Spectra that is typical of the oil passing
though the OIW-EX Series Analyzer. Figure 7 show two spectra from oil samples, if
Sample 1 was set as the Spectrometer Standard then an alarm can be raised when
Sample 2 is encountered because its shape does not match the Spectrometer Standard.

2.4.1.2 Spectrometer Standard Creation Process

Before you start to create a Spectrometer Standard you need to specify the number of
Spectra you wish to form the Standard. This can be done with the Standard Size
control. Once you are happy with the standard size a click on the Create Standard
button will start the process; see Figure 7. The number of samples used to create the
Standard means that the Standard is more representative of the overall shape of the
samples passing though the analyzer. The default minimum of 5 will be fine in most
cases.
A new control Sample remaining until standard set will appear; this will be
decremented each time a sample is taken; see Figure 8.
Either leave for scheduled to run or to take a spectrometer standard just click the Take
Spectra button; see Figure 9. Repeat this process until all samples have been taken, see
Figure 11

2.5 Spectrum Reading Cycle Explained

The spectrum analyser can take a reading based on any one of three conditions:
• The OIW System software periodically requests a reading – based on a user selectable
time period;
• The PPM level rises above the “User Set” trigger level;
• The user manually requests a reading.
Each of these trigger conditions will be discussed in more detail below but the reading cycle
remains the same for each condition.
The user can have any combination of trigger conditions including all conditions at the same
time i.e. the system can be set to trigger a reading every hour and trigger a reading if 100ppm is
exceeded and select a manual reading. Note: only one reading will be taken at a time.
2.5.1 Measuring Cycles Spectrum Operation

The OIW EX-1000 can be set to take a spectrum analyser reading at regular Measuring Cycles
throughout the day, see the User Handbook for OIW EX-100 for details about Measuring
Cycles. To access this option navigate to the Configuration Options tab, click the
Schedule button and select the Spectrometer tab on the Schedule Configuration
window.
You may change the frequency at which Spectra are taken by using the
“Spectrometer reading taken every” XX “Measurement Cycles” control, Figure 12.
Figure 12. Scheduled Auto Settings

Date: 18 March 2010
With the “Spectrometer reading taken every” XX “Measurement Cycles” set to 0; no

Spectra will be taken based on Measuring Cycles.
With “Spectrometer reading taken every” XX “Measurement Cycles” set to 1; a Spectra
will be taken every time a Measuring Cycle Starts.
2.5.2 PPM Level Triggered Spectrum Operation
The OIW EX-1000 can be set to take a spectrum analyser reading when the ppm reading
exceeds a user set ppm level. To access this option navigate to the Configuration Options
tab, click the Oil Type button and select the Spectrometer Settings tab on the Oil Type
Configuration window, Figure 13.
The Level Trigger Value allows any ppm level to be entered in the range 0 to 50000. If a value
of 0 is entered ppm level spectrum readings will not be taken as a value of 0 (zero) disables this
option.
Figure 13. Trigger Level Settings
2.5.3 Manual Spectrum Operation

With the measurement cycle started the Take Spectra button will be active and can be
selected at any time to trigger a spectrum analysis of the produced water at that time.

Date: 18 March 2010
2.6 Spectrum Control Options

The spectrum analyser three parameters that control the quality of the Spectra:
• Smoothing,
• Averaging, and
• Integration Time.
To access this option navigate to the Configuration Options tab, click the Schedule
button and select the Spectrometer Settings tab on the Schedule Configuration
window, see Figure 14.
Figure 14. Spectrum Control Options
2.6.1 Spectrum Smoothing

Smoothing specifies the number of readings on either side of a particular reading to average
across an entire spectral acquisition. This method averages a group of adjacent detector
elements. A value of three, for example, averages each data point with three points (or bins) to
its left and three points to its right.
The greater this value, the smoother the data and the higher the signal-to-noise ratio. However,
if the value entered is too high, a loss in spectral resolution results.
2.6.2 Spectrum Averaging

Smoothing specifies the number of spectra to average for the specified spectra output. A higher
value for this parameter provides a better signal-to-noise (S:N) ratio.

Date: 18 March 2010
2.6.3 Spectrum Integration Time

Integration Time specifies the length of the spectral acquisition in milliseconds for the
spectrometer. The integration time of the spectrometer is analogous to the shutter speed of a
camera. The higher the value specified for the integration time, the longer the detector "looks"
at the incoming laser light.
The three integration times relate to the different integration time available to avoid clip the
signal.
If IT1was set to 600ms, IT2 was set to 300ms and IT3 set to 200ms.
The OIW EX 1000 software would take a Spectra using IT1 and check for Spectral clipping.
If Spectral clipping occurred with IT1 then the OIW EX 1000 software would take a Spectra
using IT2 and check for Spectral clipping.
If Spectral clipping occurred with IT2 the OIW EX 1000 software would take a Spectra using
IT3.

If IT1, IT2 and IT3 are set to the same value then the OIW EX 1000 software does not attempt
to resolve Spectral clipping.

2.7 Spectrum Control Options

The spectrum analyser has three parameters that control the quality of the Spectra:
• Smoothing,
• Averaging, and
• Integration Time.
To access this option navigate to the Configuration Options tab, click the Schedule
button and select the Spectrometer Mask Settings tab on the Schedule Configuration
window, see Figure 16.

2.8 Spectrum Log Files

The Spectrum logs can be found in a folder named Spec_Logs within the OIWLogs folder
as detail in the Data Logging Handbook – please refer to that handbook for details of how
to access the logs.
Each spectrum data log has a unique file name as shown in the example below, Figure 23.
Figure 23. Spectrum Data Logs Folder

Date: 18 March 2010
The file “SN00375-05_Mar_09-08_07_58_Thu_OIW_Spectra_DATA_31.3ppm.csv” may be

used to show the filename format,
SN00375-05_Mar_09-08_07_58_Thu_OIW_Spectra_DATA_31.3ppm.csv
The serial number of the OIW unit, in this example SN000375
The date the spectra was taken, in this example 5th March 2009
The time the spectra was taken, in this example 08:07:58
The day of the week the spectra was taken, in this example Thursday
The type of OIW file, in this example Spectra Data for an Oil-in-Water
sensors
The measured value when the spectra was taken, in this example 31.3
parts per million
The type of the file. As with all of the OIW data logs the spectrum data
logs are text based files output in .csv format (comma separated values).
This means that they can be opened in a plain text editor such as
Notepad (included with Windows) or more sophisticated mathematical
analysis tools such as Microsoft’s Excel application, see Figure 24.
Figure 24. Spectrum Data Log File Opened in Excel
The format of the spectrum data log is as follows:

The first line is a header line show the oil ppm level in the water at the time the Spectra was
taken and measurement limit.
The second line is a header line to identify the two columns that follow. In addition this line
holds some status information about the spectrum reading which is for Advanced Sensors Ltd
use only.
The remaining lines list the wavelength and relative light level reading, as partially shown in
Figure 24 above.

Date: 18 March 2010
3 Using SpAn
SpAn (Spectrum Analyser) is Advanced Sensors software tool used to view the Spec log files.
Note: as mention previously the files can be view with a variety of tools such as NotePad and
analysis can be done in programs like Microsoft’s Excel program.
3.1 Starting SpAn

To start SpAn simply locate the SpAn icon on the desktop, shown below, Figure 25. Once the
software has started the screen will be as shown, Figure 26.
Figure 25. SpAn Icon
Figure 26. Startup Screen

Date: 18 March 2010
3.2 Loading a spectrum log File

To load a file select the button marked Click to Load Data highlighted in red, just below the
centre of the screen, Figure 27c. When this is clicked a standard Windows load dialogue box
will appear. Simply navigate to the data directory and select a data log file, as shown below,
Figure 27d.
Figure 27. Loading a Spectrum Data File

Date: 18 March 2010
When the file loads the red button will change to display the filename it has loaded
(Figure 28d) and the data within that file will be displayed in the graph area (Figure 28c).
In addition the Hide buttons option will be enabled (Figure 28e) (prior to loading a file this
option was disabled, as seen above Figure 27), and the next button in line (blue button
(Figure 28f)) will also become enabled.
Figure 28. File Loaded

Date: 18 March 2010
Once the second (blue) button has been enable the process can be repeated to load a second file
into SpAn – and in turn the third (green) button will be enabled, allowing the user to load a
third file etc. – up to six files can be loaded simultaneously into SpAn for analysis and
comparison. Figure 29 below, shows two spectrum data loaded into SpAn. The colour of each
line on the graph corresponds with the colour of the file name on the Load button.
Figure 29. Multiple Data Files Loaded

Date: 18 March 2010
3.3 Auto Scaling

When a file is loaded the graph is drawn such that it fills the graph area, as was shown in
Figure 27 above. If a second graph (or subsequent graph) is loaded which is larger than the
previous graph then the graph scale will adjust to fill the graph area with the largest graph, as
seen in. Figure 29 above – note how the blue line has been scaled to fill the graph area and the
red line has been reduced to proportionately compare against the blue line.
If the user wishes to see the red line fill the screen then they can hide all larger graph lines by
selecting their Hide button’s – as can be seen in Figure 30 below. Notice how the blue Hide
button has changed to read Unhide to highlight that a graph has been loaded, but has been
hidden.
Figure 30. Using the Hide Button

Date: 18 March 2010
3.4 Identifying Points on the Graph

To identify a point on the graph the user can select a point on the graph by clicking the mouse
pointer any where on the graph page, see below Figure 31c. Doing this will update the display
area at the top of the SpAn screen Figure 31d to identify the Wavelength (x – axis) and the
Light Intensity (y-axis).
Figure 31. Selecting points on the Graph
3.5 Saving/Loading Spectral Data File Sets

To aid quick recall of a reading or set of readings once loaded the user can save the
filename set this can be done by selecting FileÎSave (or by pressing CTRL S), as shown
below (Figure 32c). This will bring up a standard Windows Save As window. The user can
navigate to an area of their choice and enter a file name that best describes the file set, shown
in Figure 32d.
Once saved the file set name will be displayed at the bottom of the screen, Figure 32e, where
previously No File Loaded was displayed.
Figure 32. Saving a File Set

Date: 18 March 2010
Once a file set has been saved it can be loaded back into SpAn by selecting the FileÎLoad
from the top tool bar, see Figure 33, or by pressing CTRL L. This will bring up standard
windows Open window and will list all file set filenames previous store, as shown below,
Figure 34. Selecting a file set name and clicking on the Open button will re-display the set of
spectrum files previously saved.
