NFORMATION BEFORE USING LANT EN DEVICE Read this manual carefully before operating the device. If you are not sure about something in the manual, contact the manufacturer for clarification. By accepting the device, the customer agrees to follow the instructions in this guide. Always follow corresponding manuals while working with the PlantPen device or doing the maintenance. -
Page 5: General Description
ENERAL ESCRIPTION The PlantPen model PRI 210 measures Photochemical Reflectance Index (PRI) in two narrow wavelength bands centered close to 530 nm and 590 nm. The photochemical reflectance index ((R531 – R570) / (R531 + R570))2 correlates with the epoxidation state of xanthophyll cycle pigments and photosystem efficiency in many studies under diverse conditions, such as different 1. -

The cell structure of the leaves, on the other hand, strongly reflects near-infrared light (from 0.7 to 1.1 µm). The differences in plant reflectance in the visible and near-infrared wavelengths are used to calculate NDVI index. NDVI is directly related to the photosynthetic capacity and hence energy absorption of plant canopies. Fig. 3 PlantPen NDVI 310. Page | 10... -

9.2.2 ENU SETTINGS MENU > Setup > Settings After Download – Memory Erase If the box is checked the PlantPen memory is erased after each data download. Data – Inverted If the box is checked the polarity of data is inverted, e.g., multiplied by -1. This feature can be helpful for a certain type of experiment when the measured data are undesirably interpreted as negative values. - Page 24 Online Control – Time (Fig. 14) The PlantPen time and date can be set in this window. The time and date can be edited either manually by setting and saving it or synchronized with the computer automatically by ticking the box. The synchronization is performed just at once (i.e., the option doesn’t synchronize the time continuously).
