When there are no files to store data to, the measure menu items will not be available. To correct this situation, create a file. The following sections describe the menus and what they do. The CI-202 menu system allows you to quickly and easily operate the instrument without constantly referring to this manual.
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.
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).
