1 Getting Started
What is the LI-8100A?
The LI-8100A is a fully automated system dedicated to making measurements of
soil CO
2
flux. The Analyzer Control Unit powers either a Survey or Long-Term
measurement chamber, and houses the system electronics and the infrared gas
analyzer (IRGA) used to measure the change in CO
2
and H
2
O concentrations in
the soil chamber.
An Auxiliary Sensor Interface attaches to the Analyzer Control Unit to allow for
connection of an external power source and your choice of sensors, such as soil
temperature and/or soil moisture probes.
Data collected by the LI-8100A can be stored to the instrument's flash memory, to
an internal compact flash (CF) card, or transferred to a personal computer.
Data collection protocols are defined in either Windows
®
software or interface
software for iOS on an Apple
®
iPod
®
Touch
®
or other iOS device such as an iPad
®
or iPhone
®
. The LI-8100A is a Wi-Fi ("wireless fidelity") enabled device that allows
for wireless communication with compatible PDAs or personal computers. Data
collected by the LI-8100A can be output to your Windows
®
computer; data
analysis software (FV8100) is also included to allow further examination and/or
recomputation of your data.
