OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The CI-203 is a self-contained, hand-held, battery-powered instrument with a built-in display. It

contains an optical scanner to measure leaf width, a roller with a shaft encoder to measure

length, and a microcomputer to coordinate the measurement functions, calculate results, and

store collected data.

Taking a measurement is as simple as turning the instrument on, inserting a leaf in the

objective, and drawing it out. The instrument does the rest.

Figure 1. CI-203 Laser Area Meter

To turn the instrument on, press the power button. When the instrument powers on, a copyright

notice will appear for 0.5 seconds. Following this, a menu will appear on the display with the

following options: Measure, Setup, View and File. You are now in the CI-203 menu system.

Phone (360) 833-8835 Fax (360) 833-1914 sales@cid-inc.com http://www.cid-inc.com

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.

Measure

file00

<arm>

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.

The display will show the name of the current file in the upper left-hand corner of the screen and

the sequence number of the measurement in the upper right-hand corner. Below these the

parameter names appear on the left and parameter values on the right of the screen.

To bring an image into view, press the RIGHT arrow key. Pressing the RIGHT arrow key again

will display the barcode data. Pressing the LEFT arrow key from any screen will return the

instrument to the ready to measure mode. To discard the last measurement, press the STOP

button. Now another measurement may be taken, if required. Depending on the setup of the

automatic save function of the instrument, the measurement will or will not be saved.

Figure 4. Image of measured leaf on CI-203 display screen

To save the measurement, press the SAVE button; the word “saved” will be shown near the top

line of the display to confirm that the data is saved. Make sure the SDcard is present when

saving data to a file. The user may verify and transfer files by connecting the instrument to a

computer using the USB port on the CI-203, or by mounting the SDcard into the SD slot on the

computer and using it as a local drive; then open the file explorer to view the files. Files should

be copied from the SDcard and saved to the hard drive before proceeding with any calculations

or data manipulation.
