Importing a data file to a spreadsheet
The data file can be imported into a spreadsheet such as Microsoft® Excel by using
the Text Import Wizard. Excel will open a wizard dialog box when the LI-3100C
data file is opened. The wizard prompts the user for information about the text file
being opened. Be sure to indicate that the file is Tab Delimited.

Using the LI-3000A readout
The LI-3100C serial port can be converted to connect to the readout console of the
LI-3000A Portable Area Meter for those users who desire this functionality (standard
on earlier versions of the LI-3100). A gender-changing (male-female) straight-thru
cable (not a null modem cable) connects the LI-3100C and 3000A-01. The ribbon
cable plug on the serial communication daughter board must be moved to location
P2 on the LI-3100C main circuit board. Contact LI-COR for details.
