CM 1000 Chlorophyll Meter
A meter for measuring chlorophyll content using NASA based patented technology. The "point en shoot" method gives you direct and accurate measurements of the chlorophyll content of leaves.
Measurements can be logged and transfered to a PC for further analysis. It is also possible to stamp GPS coordinates on every easurement in combination with a GPS device (to be purchased separately). The CM 1000 software (ST-2950S) for unlocking the extensive data logging and gps functions is required. The software can be purchased separately.
A list if its features:
- Detects stress earlier than visual monitoring
- Technology based on an exclusive patent license from NASA
- Laser guides outline the edges of the measured sample area
- Calculates and displays a running average for multiple readings
- Connects to any GPS receiver that has a serial output option*
- Equipped with internal data logger and RS-232 port
- Records 3,250 measurements (1,350 with added GPS/DGPS option)
- Configure and download meter with FieldScout® software (not included)**
- Compatible with SpecConnect
- Includes hard carrying case and batteries
GPS
Using the CM 1000 Metter in the field, for instance on greens or fairways and these measurements needs to plotted on a map, you can use the GPS connection by unlocking it with the CM 1000 software. You'll also need to purchase a GPS device of your own and connect the device to the CM 1000 Chlorophyll Meter using two types of cables. First of all you'll need our GPS/DGPS cable (ST-2950CV5), available separately and second you'll need a PC interface cable (serial) available from the manufacturer of the GPS device of your choice. Both cables connect to each other and each to the specific device.
