FieldScout CM 1000 Chlorophyll Meter
FieldScout CM 1000 Chlorophyll Meter
“Point-and-shoot” technology to instantly measure relative chlorophyll content
- Detects stress earlier than visual monitoring
- Technology based on an exclusive patent license from NASA
- Laser guides outline the edges of the measured sample area
- Calculates and displays a running average for multiple readings
- Connects to any GPS receiver that has a serial output option*
- Equipped with internal data logger and RS-232 port
- Records 3,250 measurements (1,350 with added GPS/DGPS option)
- Configure and download meter with FieldScout® software (not included)**
- Compatible with SpecMaps™ online web-mapping application
- Includes hard carrying case and batteries
* GPS interface requires two cables. The GPS/DGPS cable (item 2950CV5) is available from Spectrum. A PC serial interface cable supplied by the manufacturer of the GPS receiver is also required. ** PC cable connects to a computer USB port.
