LI-COR LI-3100C, Instruction Manual

Page: 27 / 50

If the instrument is connected properly, data will appear in the counter window
when an object is passed through the meter.
Software basics
The main window of the software features a real-time area display similar to the
LCD display on the LI-3100C. Software also calculates maximum width, average
width, and length of samples passed through the meter. These values are shown in
the window to the left of the area counter, along with the selected resolution.
The PC area counter can be reset by the user - this also resets calculated values for
width and length. Resetting the counter on the software does not reset the counter
on the LI-3100C. However, resetting the LI-3100C counter on the front instrument
panel does reset the software counter.
