What is the LI-8100A?
The LI-8100A is an automated system for measuring soil CO2 flux. It can be used to survey a study site with one portable chamber or deployed for long-term measurements with one chamber. It can also support up to 16 chambers with the multiplexer. For gases other than CO2, you can add another trace gas analyzer to the LI-8100A system and compute flux of the other gases.
The LI-8100A is configured from a computer running the Windows® operating system, but with the optional wireless communication card you can configure and operate the LI-8100A from older iPhone®, iPod touch®, iPad® (iOS version 8.4.1 and older). With the TP-LINK battery-powered router you can use any iOS device and most Android devices.
