Making Measurements with the LI-3000C

The measurement method is simple:

• Open the scanning head and place it over the leaf
• Hold the encoding cord stationary at the base of the leaf
• Close the scanning head
• Press the reset button to initiate the measurement
• Slide the scanning head over the leaf
• Allow the entire leaf to pass through completely

Using the Optional LI-3050C Transparent Belt Conveyer Accessory:

For fast and accurate measurements of detached leaves, the LI-3000C scanning head slides into the LI-3050C Transparent Belt Conveyer Accessory assembly such that the upper and lower belts pass through the scanning head (below). In this mode the conveyer belt moves at a constant speed to provide the encoded length information to the LI-3000C (the length encoding cord is not used).

Samples are placed on the lower transparent belt and allowed to pass through the LI-3000C scanning head. Accumulated area is shown on the LI-3000C display as the sample(s) passes through the scanning head. When the system is used in RealTime Capture mode, new interface software allows data to be displayed, accumulated, and logged on a PC. The measurement is initiated using the reset button located on the front panel of the LI-3050C.
