APPENDIX F
CI-510CF CHLOROPHYLL FLUORESCENCE MODULE
The CI-510CF is a host operated modulated chlorophyll fluorescence measurement
module. This module performs two functions: generated chlorophyll fluorescence trace
data, and individual pulse (calculated) data. From this, complex kinetic tests can be
performed and analyzed.
CONNECTING THE CI-510CF TO THE CI-340
CI-510CF Chlorophyll Fluorescence Module comes with a ‘Y’ shaped fiber optic cable.
To connect the CI-510CF Chlorophyll Fluorescence Module, screw on the two
connectors on the ‘Y’ end of the cable into the holes on the face of the CI-510CF
Chlorophyll Fluorescence Module. Then insert the other end of the cable to the hole on
the side of the chamber. See the graph on the next page for the details. Insert a power
plug into the 12V DC jack on the CI-510CF module. An Accessory control cable (one
end with an eight-pin connector and another end with four plugs) is used for
communication between the CI-340 instrument and the CI-510CF module. Connect the
eight-pin connector of the Accessory control cable to the Accessory control Port (see
Figure 2-2) on the end of the CI-340. Insert the plug with green color band into the
RS232 jack on the CI-510CF control unit.
Always make sure to plug in the electrical connector before plugging in the RS232
cable plug.
CI-340 FLUORESCENCE SATURATION PULSE MEASUREMENT
With the CI-340 and CI-510CF cabled together and with the fiber optic inserted in the
leaf chamber, activate the CI-340 Fluorescence Saturation Pulse Measurement by typing:
“SHIFT SHIFT SHIFT 2”
on the keypad, which is the letter “F” (for fluorescence). The CI-340 will ask for a
filename to save the data under and a pulse length from 0.8 to 3 seconds. The default
saturation pulse length is 1 second. Then the CI-340 will proceed to take the
measurement.
Use the C340DF.exe utility to down load the file to a PC and view the stored file in an
appropriate spreadsheet.
The Fluorescence numbers are generated at a 16 Hz rate and represent the chlorophyll
fluorescence in A/D (Analog to Digital Converter) counts. The last three entries in the
table are:
