TARGAS-1 Operation Manual V. 1.02 24 support@ppsystems.com
Quick Start
For measurement of leaf gas exchange using the PLC5 Leaf Cuvette.
We highly recommend that you take a few moments to run this simple test to familiarize yourself with the
basic TARGAS-1 set-up and to ensure that the system is performing perfectly before starting a
measurement campaign.
1. Connect the PLC5 Leaf Cuvette gas and signal connectors to the TARGAS-1 console as shown
below and close the cuvette head.
2. Connect the TARGAS-1 to the power supply provided by PP Systems (to conserve power) and
power up the TARGAS-1 console and allow it to warm-up. Prior to performing actual
photosynthesis measurements, it is recommended to wait an additional 15 minutes. This will
allow the system to achieve stabilization of the IRGAs and perform system ZEROs. During
warm-up, the main measurement screen will show 0 readings for most measured parameters
