Connecting to a
Computer
The data port on the underside of the CM 1000 NDVI me-
ter can be accessed by removing the plastic screw. It is
through this port that the meter is connected to either a PC
or to a GPS unit.
Connecting to a PC
The CM1000 NDVI software comes with a black PC in-
terface cable. This cable connects to the USB port of your
computer and to the meter’s computer port. The meter’s
configuration can be modified by clicking on the Meter
Settings button (see Meter Settings, p. 13). The Com Port,
Meter Type, Download, Clear Memory and Meter Set-
tings buttons are explained in the Main Toolbar section (p.
13).
Note:
Prior to 2014, the meter was shipped with a gray
cable that connected to a 9-pin serial port. This cable will
still work but may require a USB-to-serial adapter.
