You can run your RCS software by going to Start, Programs, CIRAS-2 Remote Control Software or by
clicking the CIRAS-2 Remote Control Software icon on your desktop screen. The first time that you run
RCS the Select User dialog (below) will be displayed on the screen:
Later, when you set up your preferences and settings, this information will automatically be saved for you.
The most recently used preferences and settings will load each time that the RCS program is
subsequently started, and the login procedure will be circumvented.
The „New User‟ option facilitates multiple operators sharing the same equipment without altering or
overriding each others individual settings. Each „User‟ can pre-program and permanently store several
unique sets of hardware/software settings and routines under which CIRAS-2 is operated. For example,
you can set up CIRAS-2 to measure leaf-level gas exchange responses to controlled environmental
conditions, or to measure soil respiration rates.
