Instrument Information

Note: All Users can view the status of instruments at a station.

Under the Stations view, (Click to view information about a station.), click the Information button () for the station. Or, click the station name and then Station Information.

The Instruments Table presents a list of instruments at the site.

Click by an instrument to get diagnostic and status information for that instrument.

LI-7500RS and LI-7550 Status

  • Hostname: The name of the instrument as it is identified by FluxSuite. Typically this is the serial number, unless it has been changed by a user.
  • Posted at: The date and time of the most recent posting.
  • Posting next at: The next scheduled posting from the instrument.

USB Status

  • Status: The condition of the USB drive and data logging.
  • Free: Amount of free space on the USB storage device.
  • Size: The total capacity of the USB drive.

Status

  • Sensor Head: Indicates either LI-7500A/RS or LI-7200/RS.
  • CO2 Signal Strength: The signal strength received by the instrument (0 to 100%). Low signal strength indicates that the lenses should be cleaned.
  • Methane Data Sync: If there is an LI-7700 Open Path CH4 Analyzer at the site, this indicates whether the data are synchronized.
  • Detector Temperature Regulated: Indicates whether the optical detector is regulated as specified (yes/no).
  • Chopper Temperature Regulated: Indicates whether the optical source and chopper housing temperature are regulated (yes/no).
  • PLL: Phase Lock Loop. If not OK the instrument may need to be serviced.

LI-7200/RS and LI-7550 Status

  • Hostname: The name of the instrument as it is identified by FluxSuite. Typically this is the serial number, unless it has been changed by a user.
  • Posted at: The date and time of the most recent posting.
  • Posting next at: The next scheduled posting from the instrument.

USB Status

  • Status: The condition of the USB drive and data logging.
  • Free: Amount of free space on the USB storage device.
  • Size: The total capacity of the USB drive.

Status

  • Sensor Head: Indicates either LI-7500A/RS or LI-7200/RS.
  • CO2 Signal Strength: The signal strength received by the instrument (0 to 100%). Low signal strength indicates that the lenses should be cleaned.
  • Inlet Temperature OK: Indicates the status of the upper thermocouple. If not OK, replace the upper thermocouple.
  • Outlet Temperature OK: Indicates the status of the lower thermocouple. If not OK, replace the lower thermocouple.
  • Methane Data Sync: If there is an LI-7700 Open Path CH4 Analyzer at the site, this indicates whether the data are synchronized.
  • Detector Temperature Regulated: Indicates whether the optical detector is regulated as specified (yes/no).
  • Chopper Temperature Regulated: Indicates whether the optical source and chopper housing temperature are regulated (yes/no).
  • Auxiliary Inputs OK: Indicates status of input signals.
  • PLL: Phase Lock Loop. If not OK the instrument may need to be serviced.
  • Head Pressure OK: Indicates the status of pressure measurements. Service required if not OK.

7200-101 Flow Module

Flow Module

  • Flow Setting (slmp): Indicates the software setting in Standard Liters Per Minute.
  • Measured Flow (lpm): Actual flow in Liters Per Minute.
  • Measured Flow (slpm): Actual flow in Standard Liters Per Minute.
  • Motor Drive (%): The power consumed by the motor (percent of maximum). A high percent may indicate that the filter or inlet needs to be cleaned.
  • Pressure Drop (kPa): The pressure reduction resulting from the flow. A high pressure drop indicates that the filter or inlet needs to be cleaned.

7200-050 or 7200-040 Heated Intake Tube

Heated Intake Tube

  • Status: Indicates if the heated intake tube is on or off.
  • Power Setting (W): Indicates the setting that is configured through the gas analyzer software.0
  • Actual Power Applied (W): Indicates the power delivered to the heated intake tube.
  • Voltage In (V): The voltage measured by the heated intake tube circuitry. Typically this is the same as the system voltage.

LI-7700 Status

  • Hostname: The name of the instrument as it is identified by FluxSuite. Typically this is the serial number, unless it has been changed by a user.
  • Signal Strength (RSSI): The Residual Signal Strength Indicator (%).
  • Instrument Ready: Indicates that the instrument is powered on and operating as expected.
  • Reference Line Locked: Indicates that the instrument is measure a methane gas absorbtion feature. If not locked, you may need to reboot the analyzer or initiate the line lock algorithm.
  • Signal OK: Yes if above the signal strength threshold. No if below the threshold, indicating the mirrors may need to be cleaned.
  • Spin RPM Target OK: A diagnostic indicating whether the spin motor reaches the target speed.
  • Block Temperature Regulated: Yes nominally. If no, service may be required.
  • Laser Temperature Regulated: Yes nominally. If no, service may be required.
  • Open Path Thermocouple OK: Yes nominally. If No, the thermocouple may need to be replaced.
  • Spin Motor: Indicates whether the spin motor was running when the update was submitted.
  • Washer Pump: Indicates whether the washer motor was running when the update was submitted.
  • Lower Mirror Heater: Indicates the on/off status of the lower mirror heater.
  • Upper Mirror Heater: Indicates the on/off status of the lower mirror heater.
  • Auxiliary Thermocouple 3, 2, or 1: Indicates whether the thermocouple is working, if they are installed.
