LISST-StreamSide |
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
The LISST-StreamSide is developed specifically for monitoring applications, for example sediment monitoring in shallow streams and rivers or for storm runoff. It can also be used as an in-line instrument system, for example in a flow-through system on a research vessel. The first units shipped in May 2008.

Equipped with a touch-panel display, the LISST-StreamSide does not require a computer for programming set-up and sampling conditions.
From the Main Menu the user first configures the data collection, then starts data acquisition.
|
| |
|
|
|
|
The start conditions can be programmed in multiple ways. One is to program a specific date and time to start sampling, shown here.

The raw scattering data sensed by the instrument is analyzed on-board in real-time and consequently no post-processing of data is necessary. The processed data are saved to an ASCII file, which can be offloaded alter and displayed in an appropriate program, e.g. EXCEL.
|
| |
|
|
|
|
A clean water source is being used to clean the optical cell during sampling, and to perform fully automated background measurements - the so-called zscats.
|
| |
|
|
 |
|
Upon completed sampling the fully processed data can be downloaded as an ASCII file to a PC using a RS-232 connection. |
