Error messages should rarely appear during normal operation of the CI-203. However, in the event
that the display does not show the "Measure" prompt after displaying the copyright notice, see the
Error Message section of this manual.
Note: To force a power off and reset of the instrument at any point, a user may press and hold
the POWER button for 10 seconds. This "emergency hard shut-down" feature exists to address
hardware or software problems and should not be used except when needed, in general,
simply pressing the Power button in the typical manner will power off the CI-203.
Note: User must create a file (usually blank) before measurements can be taken. Failure to do
so will hang the system in 'Measurement' mode, requiring a hard shutdown.
Menus and What They Do
The CI-203 menu system allows you to quickly and easily operate the instrument without repeatedly
consulting the manual. It is recommended to read through the entire manual with the instrument
before performing measurements in the field. The screen associated with a menu item will give you
information about the choices that you can make or the options that are available. Pressing the right
arrow or forward key will select a menu option and move you to the next menu. Pressing the left
arrow or backward key will move you back to the previous menu screen.
MEASURE MENU
In the measure mode, the top line of the screen will read "Measure" on the left with the name of a file
on the right. The bottom line of the screen will have the word "arm" in brackets on the left, and the
four direction arrows on the right.
The options are:
to select another file with the UP or DOWN arrow keys
to go back to the main menu with the LEFT arrow key
to take measurements by lifting the arm
To start measuring, open the measurement arm until extended completely, and then allow it to slowly
close upon the leaf to be measured. This begins the measurement process. The motor will start
spinning up to speed as soon as the arm opens, and the display will read "Spinning Up", "Stabilizing",
and "Arm Open" in quick succession, then "Measurement" near the top line. When the arm closes, the
laser will power on and the display will read "Measuring". At this point, draw the leaf being measured
through the instrument. When the leaf has been drawn out completely, the instrument will stop
automatically and display the results of the measurement. With 'Autofile' = ON, the measurement is
automatically stored to the currently selected file. With 'Autofile' = off, the user must press the 'SAVE'
button to save the measurement to the currently selected file.
