Other View Menu Options
The View>Flash option is only accessible by CID Bio-Science technicians.
The View>Time screen displays the current time on the instrument. Press the LEFT arrow or STOP
to exit back to the View Menu. The View>SD card screen indicates if an SD card is present in the
unit, as well as other information about the SD card. If no SD card is in the instrument, or if the SD
card is not fully inserted, “no SD card” will appear on the display.
GPS System Features
The CI-900 has a built-in GPS system which can relay the longitude, latitude and altitude of the
instrument when performing measurements. The View>GPS screen displays the mode of the GPS
sensor (SEN= $GPGGA), as well as the values for latitude, longitude, altitude and indicates the
number of satellites currently connected to. Press the UP/DOWN arrow to display the latitude,
longitude and altitude information only.
The GPS uses GMT or Greenwich Mean Time for a standardized time. The GMT is displayed as the
time (TIM) on the GPS menu and is synchronized with minute and second alignment. Often, when
the instrument is turned on indoors, the latitude, longitude and altitude will be blank. This occurs
when no satellite signal can be obtained by the instrument. Powering up the CI-900 outdoors will
correct this problem and allow latitude, longitude and altitude readings to be taken.
