Frequently Asked Questions
The LI-8250 is compatible with the LI-870 (CO2), the LI-7810 (CH4 and CO2), LI-7815 (CO2), LI-7820 (N2O), and LI-7825 (CO2 gas and CO2 isotopes, but not NH3 flux).
LI-COR provides pre-made cable and tubing assemblies for LI-COR analyzers. Volumes for these analyzers and cable assemblies are auto-filled in the interface software, so you don’t have to calculate system volume on your own. Data, including final flux rate, from LI-COR analyzers can be viewed directly through the user interface software in the field. For measurements of trace gases not supported by LI-COR analyzers, the LI-8250 can also be used with gas analyzers not manufactured by LI-COR. Data from non-LI-COR analyzers cannot be viewed directly in the software, and files from the analyzer and LI-8250 must be merged in SoilFluxPro™ Software to calculate fluxes. You will also need to calculate total system volume manually for these applications.
