= 44.04 cm NOTE: Because of the amount of information displayed on this screen, the CI-202 cannot display any prompts in this mode. To bring another parameter into view, press the RIGHT or LEFT arrow key. Repeatedly pressing the right arrow key will step you through area, length, width, perimeter, aspect ratio and shape factor, in that order. -
Page 6: Manipulate Files
Manipulate Files The CI-202 gives an expanded ability to organize data collection by using a file structure similar to that used by personal computers. The CI-202 has up to 256 files available. Select a unique name for each file to control the data stored in each file to optimize the amount of data stored for research that is carried out. -
Page 7: Transfer Data From A File
Transfer Data from a File Data can be downloaded from the CI-202 to a PC at any time the instrument is idle. Plug in the USB cable to both the instrument and the PC and run the CI202dfV1006.exe program on the PC (downloadable on the CID Bio-Science website). -

Page 13: Calibrating The Ci-202
Each time a parameter is adjusted on the CI-202, the instrument should have its timing parameters re-computed the next time it is powered on. The CI-202 can require adjustment after extensive use in the field or downloading/updating firmware. The recalibration is very quick and simple. - Page 14 CI-202 Instruction Manual rev. 6/20/2016 7) Use the UP or DOWN arrow key to get to “Filter off.” Press STOP TWICE and then SAVE. The screen will flash “Root params saved” indicating that the root parameters have been saved. This will turn the filter off and save the changes.

Page 17: Theory Of Operation
Overview of the Parts of the Instrument The CI-202 consists of a number of sub-systems. It has a laser width scanner that is capable of measuring the width of an object in its objective 500 times a second to a resolution of 0.1 mm. The entire instrument is controlled by a microcomputer system that allows the user unparalleled flexibility in configuring the instrument to make measurements accurately, easily and quickly. -
Page 18: Computing Aspect Ratio And Shape Factor Information
CI-202 Instruction Manual rev. 6/20/2016 Computing Aspect Ratio and Shape Factor Information Aspect ratio and shape factor information can be easily determined from other calculated values. These derived quantities are not stored but calculated, whenever necessary, for the purposes of display or data dumping. -

Save key. 5. What is the resolution? a. The CI-202 with filter turned off is able to reliably detect objects up to 0.2mm across. Be aware the CI-202 does not process pixels, all measurements are done based on scan times to the edges of the physical object. - Page 22 CI-202 Instruction Manual rev. 6/20/2016 a. Stay in Leaf mode, turn off the filter from Setup->Scanner menu and make a regular measurement. Use the perimeter value divided by 2 as the Root length value, this estimation is good if the width of the roots is negligible; if not, the user should use area in final computation 9.
