Section 1.
Introduction to the instruments
The LI-830 and LI-850 gas analyzers both measure CO
2
in air at concentrations from
0 to 20,000 ppm. The instruments differ in that the LI-850 measures water vapor in
air, but the LI-830 does not. As a consequence of the water vapor measurement, the
LI-850 is able to measure CO
2
concentrations with greater accuracy than the LI-830.
Regardless of this difference, operating both instruments is essentially the same. This
document provides basic operating instructions for the analyzers.

Application software
The software used to interact with the instrument is available for both Windows
®
and macOS
®
operating systems. It is used to configure the instrument, read meas-
urements, and configure data logging to a computer. For Windows 7 and 8, the
device drivers must be installed manually before you can connect with the instru-
ment. Software is available from licor.com/830-850-support.
Integrator's guide
