New LI-6400XT Training CD

Prepare ahead of time for the LI-6400XT training class, or learn at your own pace with the new LI-6400XT training CD.

"The LI-6400XT Training CD was a great preparation for the training course. Having watched it, I was already familiar with much of the machine. It made training much more productive."
Melissa C. Smith - Washington State University

LI-COR offers LI-6400 and LI-6400XT training during the months of September through May at LI-COR headquarters in Lincoln, Nebraska. Please refer to our listing at left for specific dates. These courses are hands-on and therefore we limit the number of participants to 8. The late spring workshops fill up early so register as soon as possible.

The courses are specifically designed for people who have little or no experience with the LI-6400 but may be useful as a refresher to people with more experience. Some of the topics covered during the courses include:

• Fundamentals of making gas exchange measurements
• LI-6400 Hardware and software introduction
• Environmental control
• Making survey and response curve measurements
• Software configuration
• Maintenance, calibration and troubleshooting

6400-810: Training Course - Gas Exchange. This is a two-day training course. It covers the fundamentals of gas exchange measurements. It includes an introduction to the LI-6400XT hardware and software. At the end of the course a participant should be able to setup and make gas exchange measurements with the LI-6400. A typical schedule is as follows:

Day 1:           

• Fundamentals of making gas exchange measurements
• LI-6400XT Hardware and software introduction
• Environmental control
• Making survey measurements
• Data viewing and downloading

Day 2:

• Instrument preparation checklist and troubleshooting
• Making response curve measurements
• Software configuration
• Maintenance and calibration
• Custom Topics, some possible subjects include: soil CO2 flux, custom chambers, etc.

6400-820: Training Course - Gas Exchange plus Fluorescence. This is a three-day training course. The first two days are the same as the two day course (6400-810). The third day includes an introduction to fluorescence and evaluating the light reactions of photosynthesis using the 6400-40 Leaf Chamber Fluorometer. A typical schedule is as follows:

Day 1:           

• Fundamentals of making gas exchange measurements
• LI-6400XT Hardware and software introduction
• Environmental control
• Making survey measurements
• Data viewing and downloading

Day 2:

• Instrument preparation checklist and troubleshooting
• Making response curve measurements
• Software configuration
• Maintenance and calibration

Day 3:

• Fluorescence theory introduction
• Basic fluorescence measurements
• Combined fluorescence and gas exchange measurements
• Custom Topics, some possible subjects include: soil CO2 flux, custom chambers, etc.

*Please note: if you are new to both gas exchange and fluorescence, we recommended you first attend the 2-day gas exchange course.
