You must install the Ocean Optics Omni Driver to use Ocean Optics spectrometers from MATLAB. To get the driver, see the Third-Party requirements on the right side of this page.

Install the Ocean Optics Spectrometers Support Package
You can use Instrument Control Toolbox™ to communicate withOcean Optics USB spectrometers. You can acquire data from the spectrometerand control it. Ocean Optics manufactures a broad line of USB-poweredspectrometers covering the visible, near IR, and UV portions of thespectrum. You can use these spectrometers from MATLAB® on Windows® andMacintosh platforms.
- OmniDriver is the premier device driver platform for control of all Ocean Insight spectrometers. With it you can configure acquisition parameters, retrieve spectra, set triggering options, and the like. OmniDriver supports these platforms: Supports 32- and 64-bit versions of Windows (XP/7/8), Linux (32/64-bit), and Mac OS X.
- Dec 30, 2018 Ocean Optics provides a product called OmniDrivers (oceanoptics.com) that provides drivers that are compatible with Windows 7 and later. In the download page it is shown that it requires a password that I do not have, although that is for development purpoces and not for the drivers.
The Instrument Control Toolbox Support Package for OceanOptics Spectrometers lets you use MATLAB for comprehensive controlof any spectrometer that is supported by the Ocean Optics OmniDriversoftware (version 2.12 or higher). You can perform many tasks, including:
Acquire a spectrum
Set the integration time
Enable dark current and nonlinear spectral corrections

Note
This support package is being removed in R2018b. The Instrument Control Toolbox still supports use of Ocean Optics hardware as described here. Required MATLAB files will be installed with the toolbox. Required Ocean Optics files, such as instrument drivers, need to be installed separately from Ocean Optics. You can still use Ocean Optics instruments with the toolbox. To do so, install any required instrument drivers from Ocean Optics, if you do not already have them installed. Required files from Ocean Optics are available from the MathWorks web site: https://www.mathworks.com/hardware-support/ocean-optics-spectrometers.html.
This feature is available through the Hardware Support Packages.Using this installation process, download and install the followingfile(s) on your host computer:
MATLAB Instrument Driver for Ocean Optics support

Note
You can use this support package on a host computer running on 64-bit Windows or 64-bit macOS operating systems that Instrument Control Toolbox supports.
