Power - On when ON/OFF button is pushed, and indicates that power is applied to
the instrument.
Ready - On when the instrument is ready to communicate with a computer or
PDA.
IRGA Ready - On when the IRGA has reached its operating temperature. This may
take about 10 minutes after the instrument is powered on. The instrument will
function before the IRGA Ready light illuminates; however, measurements should
not be made until the optical bench has reached its operating temperature.
Active - On when the LI-8100A is making a measurement.
Low Battery - On when the input voltage drops below a factory-determined
threshold (approximately 10.94 volts). If the voltage drops below 10.5 volts, the
instrument will turn off.
