LISST-200X User’s Manual LISST-200X Introduction and Tutorial Page 11
We can now fill the chamber with clean, particle-free water. Sequoia
uses steam-distilled bottled water filtered through a 0.2 micron filter.
Tap water may contain too many particles and may also contain
dissolved gas that can release and form small bubbles on the optical
surfaces. Pressurized filtered water can also contain dissolved gas.
Often the best source of clean water is bottled drinking water.
Step 5: Install
LISST-SOP200X
Software
At this point the instrument is ready to go. We now need to install the
software that is required for operation of the instrument. A USB
memory card the size of a credit card is included with each instrument.
In addition to the communication and processing program the disk also
contains digital copies of this manual and other support files. Insert the
memory card into a USB port on your PC to install the software. You
must install the software on a computer running Windows XP or later
(it is not compatible with Mac or Linux operating systems).
On the memory card you will find the ‘LISST-SOP200X_Installer.exe.’
The name LISST-SOP refers to the Standard Operating Procedure
functionality of the program. Double click the installer executable to
begin installing the software. Follow the onscreen instructions and the
installer will transfer the necessary files to your computer and place a
shortcut on your desktop and start menu. Do not remove the memory
card from your computer until the installation is fully completed.
Please note the following with respect to the LISST-SOP200X:
• On a 64-bit Windows PC, the software will be installed in the
following folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Sequoia\LISST200X,
while on 32-bit Windows machines, the install folder will be
C:\Program Files\Sequoia\LISST200X
• The LISST-SOP200X WILL NOT work with the older LISST-100
or LISST-100X instruments. It is NOT possible to use the
program to offload data from a LISST-100 or LISST-100X
instrument, only a LISST-200X will work with this software.
