How Data Appears in a File

Data saved by the instrument during measurement can be viewed later on a computer using a
spreadsheet program. Fifteen different columns of data will be seen in the downloaded or transferred
file, including the date (month/day/year), time of measurement (hour/minute/second), area, length,
width, perimeter, ratio, factor, voids, latitude, longitude and altitude. Three columns are related to the
new GPS function of the instrument and the columns for file start location, length, and pixel lines for
the images (i.e. these columns do not relate directly to leaf measurements).

How to Work With or Manipulate Data Files

The CI-203's removable SDcard makes it easy to work with and manipulate data files after taking
measurements. Remove the SDcard from the CI-203 after powering off the instrument. Insert the card
into a computer. Copy and save the files from the SDcard onto the hard drive of the computer. Open
the files saved on the hard drive to start any data manipulation or management work. Saving the data
files in this manner and not working directly from the SDcard will help to prevent the corruption of
the data on the SDcard and the instrument. Once files are copied and saved to a hard drive, they can
be deleted from the SDcard.
Do not edit files directly on the instrument. Doing so may corrupt data and cause loss of files.
