Getting Started

A Serial-to-USB Adapter (p/n 6400-27) is provided to facilitate data transfer
between the LI-8100A and computers lacking an RS-232 connector. Note that this
does not convert the RS-232 serial connection into a USB connection. It simply
allows the USB port to receive data via a standard RS-232 serial connection.
Ethernet Cable (p/n 392-09436)
The Ethernet Cable is a 2 meter cable with a round connector on one end that
mates to the Ethernet port on the left side of the Analyzer Control Unit. The other
end of the cable has an RJ-45 connector for attaching to your computer or to a
network wall socket.
Ethernet Card (p/n 6400-26)
The Ethernet Card fits into one of the two internal PCMCIA (PC) card slots in the
Analyzer Control Unit. The Ethernet adapter card is connected internally to a short
cable that extends to the Ethernet connector on the Analyzer Control Unit side
panel, where it can be connected to a computer or network using the Ethernet
Cable (above).
Compact Flash Memory Card (p/n 8100-554)
The compact flash memory card included is a Type I industrial grade card with
adapter sleeve that is rated for high temperature use. Other commercially available
cards are compatible with the LI-8100A, however, we cannot guarantee their
stability under high temperatures. Type II compact flash cards can also be used
with the LI-8100A, with the appropriate adapter sleeve.
NOTE: Type II Compact Flash cards are
slightly thicker than Type I cards; as a
result, the adapter sleeve is also thicker,
and may be more difficult to remove from
the LI-8100A Analyzer Control Unit case
when inserted in tandem with a second
wireless card adapter.
Shoulder Strap Kit (p/n 604-07467)
The shoulder strap can be attached to the Analyzer Control Unit, if you prefer to
use it to carry the instrument case. Simply slide the strap ends over the two button
heads attached to the Analyzer Control Unit, on either side of the handle, as shown
below.
