LISST-200X Introduction & Quick Start 24 LISST-
200X User’s Manual
Deploying the
LISST-200X in
the Field The above steps should have given you a good understanding on the
how to operate the LISST-200X. More details on all of the steps can
be found in the User’s Manual following this tutorial. The following
steps go into deploying the instrument in the field.
Step 22:
Preparing for
Transport The LISST-200X has been designed to be a robust field instrument.
However, it is still a highly sensitive optical instrument and needs to be
treated with care. This is especially true during shipping. The LISST-
200X is shipped in a custom case with specially designed foam
cushioning. Anytime the instrument is transported it should be in this
case. We highly recommend using air shipping when possible to
eliminate the extended vibrations that ground shipping can cause.
Because the LISST-200X does not have an internal battery there is no
need to worry about putting the instrument into low power sleep mode.
You can simply disconnect it from the battery housing.
The Large External Battery Housing, which has alkaline batteries, can
be stored for extended period when fresh batteries are installed.
The Small External Battery Housing, which has NiMH rechargeable
batteries, should be opened and the batteries removed during
transport. There are not restrictions on shipping NiMH batteries.
However, the batteries will have a small drain when installed in the
Small Battery housing. Therefore it is recommended that they be
removed until the battery is ready to be used. The batteries should
also be stored in a fully charged state.
The LISST-200X can be pre-programmed with the desired sampling
program such as start and stop conditions and sampling rates. These
settings will remain in non-volatile memory until power is applied.
Therefore it is possible to prepare the instrument for sampling before
shipping it out. It is even possible to program the instrument to
automatically start upon power up. This is described in the next step.
Step 23:
Configuring
AutoStart The LISST-200X can be configured to start running the sampling
program upon power up. In some situations this ability can be quite
helpful as you do not need to connect the instrument to the PC to start
the sampling. The instrument can be preconfigured with the desired
settings and the wait for the battery to be plugged in or external power
from the CTD to be present before looking for the Start Condition.
To configure the LISST-200X to start its sampling program upon power
up use the LISST-200X software or the configure auto start from the
terminal window. If using the terminal window, use the AS command
(short for Auto Start). The AS command can be issued when the
200X> prompt is displayed in the Terminal Window. When AutoStart
is enabled a message will be displayed as part of the Status command
or the Query instrument results.
