Changing Seasons With Your Eddy Covariance System: Tips and Tricks

February 14, 2018 LI-COR Biosciences

It is good practice to give your instrumentation routine maintenance as the seasons change. Below is a list of tips to help keep your Eddy Covariance System running in top shape.

Gas Analyzers: LI-7500A/RS/DS and LI-7200/RS CO₂/H₂O Analyzers

Check your software version and update to the latest instrument software, if necessary. Go here to update LI-7500A/RS/DS software, or here for LI-7200/RS software.
Check when the analyzer was last factory-calibrated, noting the recommended frequency.
Replace the internal…

R3 and HS Sonic Anemometer Configuration

July 20, 2017 LI-COR Biosciences

The Gill R3 and HS series of anemometers can be connected to the LI-7550 to collect data on a USB drive. This can facilitate remote data monitoring and collection through the available Ethernet connectivity.

The anemometer will have to be preconfigured to send data out in the required format. This can be achieved using any serial communication software like Windows HyperTerminal or Tera Term (which can be downloaded for free here). You can also use the WindCom or RCom2…

Using a Cradlepoint Modem with LI-COR Eddy Covariance Systems

May 15, 2017 LI-COR Biosciences

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…

How to Routinely Check an Eddy Covariance System to Ensure Normal Operation

January 10, 2017 LI-COR Biosciences

Most eddy covariance (EC) systems are deployed in remote areas and exposed to harsh environmental conditions. During years-to-decades of continuous operation, potential issues related to contamination, power, animal damage, lightning, and other natural events such as fog and precipitation can arise. Aging of the hardware and out-of-date software could also become issues. In order to minimize data loss, routinely checking your EC system should be part of your maintenance plan. Considering time consumption and effectiveness, here are our recommendations:

Updating Positional Tags for Biomet Data

May 12, 2016 LI-COR Biosciences

Version 8.0.0 of the LI-7500RS/LI-7500A/LI-7200RS/LI-7200 gas analyzer embedded software implemented a new identifier for Biomet data. The identifier is a set of three digits that indicates the horizontal position (h), vertical position (v), and replicate number (r) at that position. This naming protocol is based on the protocol for the AmeriFlux and ICOS networks (http://ameriflux.lbl.gov/data/aboutdata/data-variables/). This information is stored by the LI-7550 in the biomet.metadata file for use with EddyPro^® Software. In the Sutron datalogger, there is a communications tag…
