Tour #5: Configuration Adventures
This tour will acquaint you with the Configuration Menu. While Chapter 16
describes the LI-6400 configuration scheme in detail, this tour serves as a
hands-on introduction to the topic.
WeÕll take you through three fairly common tasks for which you need the
Config Menu: building a configuration, checking to see what accessoriesÕ
calibrations have been installed, and defining a quantity that we wish to have
computed.
If you arenÕt already in the Config Menu, go to OPENÕs Main Screen and
press

.
Configuring for Conifers
Suppose you wish to measure pine needles instead of broadleaves. This
brings up several configuration issues:
¥
Leaf Area
You probably wonÕt be using 6 cm
2
for leaf area, so at the very least, youÕll
have to remember to set the area to your best estimate of what the needle area
really is. ItÕs easy to enter a value: thereÕs a function key in New Measure-
ments mode for that.

¥
Boundary Layer Conductance
The default configuration uses a lookup table based on leaf area and fan
speed, but that table is appropriate for broadleaves, not needles.
¥
Leaf Temperature
ItÕs very difficult to get the thermocouple to make good contact with a needle.
YouÕll be better off using the leaf temperature thermocouple to measure
chamber air temperature, and compute needle temperature based on an ener-
gy balance.
How do you get all of this to happen? The simplest method is to use the In-
stallation Menu:

On the other hand, determining needle area is
not
so easy.
