The LI-6800 travel case is a vast improvement over the case offered with the LI-6400/XT. One of the major changes in the case is that it has wheels, making it very easy to transport the instrument. For most users, the stock wheels on the case will perform well and last a long time. However, for users like the Field Application Scientists at LI-COR who put many more miles on the case than a typical user, the stock wheels just don’t…
LI-COR Eddy Covariance systems can be used with a variety of modems and M2M devices for remote communication. LI-COR provides Sierra Wireless modems for remote communication. However, there are a variety of other devices that can be used. Please refer to our technical note on cellular communications for Eddy covariance.
Cradlepoint manufactures various kinds of M2M/IoT and In-Vehicle Routers that can be used for this purpose. These modems are not officially supported or supplied by LI-COR, but here are…
Wireless communication is an excellent way to use the LI-8100A Automated Soil Gas Flux System in the field to start and stop logging, and view the data in real time. For wireless communication, the system has always relied on a peer-to-peer connection using a Cisco wireless card inserted into one of the PC card slots in the LI-8100A Analyzer Control Unit. Apple iOS devices, like the Windows Mobile and PALM devices before them, were able to easily connect using peer-to-peer networking.
However,…
The LI-8100A Interface Software is only available for Windows computers. Fortunately for Mac OS X users, there are still a few ways to download LI-8100A data onto a Mac. You can save the data to a Compact Flash card on the instrument, then eject it and use a card reader to import the data directly. You can also use our SoilFluxPro software (available for Windows and Mac) to connect to the instrument and download data. There are two connection options…
The LI-77000 analyzer provides the facility for users to calibrate using standard calibration gases. This option can be used to assure users that the instrument is performing according to specification. However, a mistake or an error in the calibration of the LI-7700 will result in incorrect zero (kz) and span (ks) multipliers. As a result, the computed methane density according to equation 6-12 of the LI-7700 Instruction Manual will be incorrect.
