Hopoocolor spectrometer software

[Dave-T]

I just got a Hopoocolor HPCS-330P. I know some people here have used Hopoocolor spectrometers. @telegraham, for example... Does anyone know where/how I can get the software for it? I'd like to connect it to my computer for collecting and viewing plots. I've tried messaging the seller and contacting Hopoocolor support as well, and haven't heard back yet.

@Graham's Aquaculture was kind enough to share his copy of the software. DM me your email, Dave.

Hi there! I just received my Hopoocolor HPCS-330 as well. Is there any chance you would be able to help me out here as well? I've searched high and low on how to download the software and can't find anything out for the life of me. It would be deeply appreciated. Thanks!

Unfortunately, that link does not seem to be working, onedrive just tells me "unknown render failure"

Got it! Thanks a lot. However, the software has a failed "manifest" and running the software after installation you get an error pertaining that. The one I got was:
Activation context generation failed for "C:\Program Files (x86)\HopooColor\HPCS330X\OHSP.exe".Error in manifest or policy file "C:\Program Files (x86)\HopooColor\HPCS330X\Microsoft.VC80.MFC.MANIFEST" on line 4. Component identity found in manifest does not match the identity of the component requested. Reference is Microsoft.VC80.MFC,processorArchitecture="x86",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",type="win32",version="8.0.50608.0". Definition is Microsoft.VC80.MFC,processorArchitecture="x86",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",type="win32",version="8.0.50727.762". Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed diagnosis.

You can fix this by editing 1 line in two manifest files.

First, check the "OHSP.exe.intermediate.manifest" manifest file in the HPCS330X directory under your ...Programs(x86) directory

The file has two id references that may be out of sync with you installation and their own manifest files:
<assemblyIdentity type='win32' name='Microsoft.VC80.CRT' version='8.0.50608.0' processorArchitecture='x86' publicKeyToken='1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b' />

<assemblyIdentity type='win32' name='Microsoft.VC80.MFC' version='8.0.50608.0' processorArchitecture='x86' publicKeyToken='1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b' />

You need to change Microsoft.VC80.CRT.MANIFEST and Microsoft.VC80.MFC.MANIFEST files in the same directory, using notepad.

In line 4 in both of these two files, you will find a version number like above. Change these two occurrences of the version number to the same one referenced in the "OHSP.exe.intermediate.manifest" file (in the above example, they should read version='8.0.50608.0'. Save the two files and start the HPCS330X app once more. It should now work.

The worst that can happen is that you mess up. Then you have to uninstall and install the software again.
Enjoy.

So, I got it installed, but now I cannot get the connection going. I have my HP320 mode setting on "Serial". The device is connected via the supplied USB-C -- USB-A cable to an adapter that connects to my USB-C port in my laptop. The device manager shows that the sw has installed a COM4 port.

In the HPCS330X software under system settings, I can change the port from the deafult COM1 to COM4. That did not help. Then there is a setting "Electrical parameter type". The HP320 is not listed and none of the others seem to solve the problem.

What did you do to get it to work?
