Connecting with the analyzer
The following tutorial describes the basic steps you'll follow when you turn on the
LI-830 or LI-850 for the first time.
1 Install the software on your computer
The software is used to configure data communication, analog and digital outputs,
alarms, data logging, and to verify the calibration. Software is available from
licor.com/env/support/LI-850/software.html.
2 Install an air filter on the air-in port
Caution: Always install an air filter on the input air before operating the LI-830
or LI-850. Failure to use a filter will cause contamination of the optical bench.
Retrieve an air filter and tubing from the accessories kit. Cut a 5 to 10 cm piece of
tubing. Attach the filter and tubing to the air-in port. Observe the arrow on the filter
and be sure that the air flow is in the proper direction.
