Section 3.

Operation

This section describes how to configure your instrument for eddy covariance meas-
urements. The LI-7200RS can be configured from a computer that is running Win-
dows 7 or newer.

Installing the PC Software

Go to www.licor.com/env/support, select your instrument and then select Software.
Download the software and install it on your computer. The program icon will be
in the Programs menu in the LI-COR folder.

Connecting with the Analyzer

Launch the software to open the

Connect

window. Here you set the parameters for

communication between the instrument and your computer.

Connect over Ethernet

Figure 3-1. Option 1: Plug a standard Ethernet cable into an Ethernet port inside the LI-
7550. Plug the other end directly into a computer or computer network.
