pulse analyses. The fluorometer is powered by of-the-shelf
AA (Mignon) batteries which are easily replaceable even un-
der field conditions. One set of batteries lasts for up to 1000
saturation pulse analyses.
- The MINI-PAM-II can be operated in the stand-alone mode
or by the well-proven WinControl-3 software. WinControl-3
has been introduced with the JUNIOR-PAM fluorometer and
now operates many other fluorometers like the DIVING-
PAM, MONITORING-PAM, and WATER-PAM. In addition to
the features available in the stand-alone mode, the software
allows evaluations of light-response curves by a non-linear
fitting routine and automatic execution of custom-designed
experiments using the built-in batch file feature.

Overview
The MINI-PAM-II fluorometer provides a vast range of settings
and protocols for measuring fluorescence. To make full use of
these opportunities, it is necessary to become acquainted with
terminology and principles of saturation pulse analysis. There-
fore, the present manual provides a chapter dealing with the ba-
sics of saturation pulse analysis (Chapter 5, page 31).
Chapter 5 also provides a short list of review papers on PAM
chlorophyll fluorescence and saturation pulse analysis (page 43).
Further, a small section is included providing some hints for be-
ginners (Chapter 6, page 45).
In the field, the MINI-PAM-II is mostly operated in the stand-
alone mode by its touchscreen. Chapter 7 (page 49) provides de-
tailed instructions on how to use the touchscreen interface in-
cluding advices on fluorescence induction and light curve pro-
grams.
