Sending Files to the Computer

LAI-2000Plant Canopy Analyzer

The LAI-2000 is configured as a DCE device. Connect the LAI- 2000 to your computer using the printer cable provided with the instrument. To send files from the LAI-2000 to a computer, use the following functions, found in the COMM execute list:

FCT 31 - Configure the I/O port for 4800 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and xon/xoff = NO.

FCT 33 - Set the desired output format (Normal, with or without observations, or Spreadsheet format).

FCT 32 - Print the desired range of files.

LI-1000 DataLogger

The LI-1000 is configured as a DTE device. Most computers can be connected to the LI-1000 using the 1000-03 printer cable and a female-to-female gender changer. To send files from the LI-1000 to a computer, follow these steps:

1.Press OUT on the LI-1000.

2.Select the proper baud rate (toggle with any key except ENTER). "Baud = 3" is 300 baud, and "baud = 48" is 4800 baud. Press

ENTER.

3.Select either "V" for vertical format or "H" for horizontal format. Vertical format gives one number per line, and horizontal format gives as many numbers per line as will fit in the line length specified. Press ENTER.

4.If "H" was chosen in step 3, the next display will be "len=". Enter the maximum number of characters in a line for your computer or printer. Press ENTER. The following display is "dump all=yes" (no) (LI-1000 software version 2.xx only). Toggle yes or no, and press ENTER. The LI-1000 display will show "dumping".
