The 1000-90 diskette contains a collection of programs which are used to get data out of LI-COR
instruments and into your computer. The COMM program accomplishes this. Also included are
several programs that can operate on data files generated by COMM (or any other similar program) to
reformat, recompute, or otherwise manipulate the data.
The files on the disk are:
Program Files
COMM.EXE - General purpose communications program.
EQUIP.EXE - Serial port diagnostics program.
REFORMAT.COM - Reformats LI-1000 data files (V format) into
channel groupings.
R1600.EXE - Reformats LI-1600 data files (2-line format) into
channel groupings.
General Information 3
Documentation Files
READ.ME - Recent changes.
*.HLP - Help files.
LCONFIG.LCR - List of configurations and help files.
REFORMAT.PAS - Source code for REFORMAT program.
The 1000-90 programs are approximately 243K bytes in size, and
run on any IBM PC/XT/AT/PS/2 or true IBM compatible computer.

Installation
COMM.EXE
(General Purpose)
No special installation procedures are required to install the 1000-90
program. Make a backup copy of the diskette if you plan to use the
1000-90 program directly from the floppy disk, or copy the contents
of the diskette onto a hard disk drive in your computer.
The 1000-90 program is a general purpose data communications
program. Data incoming from the selected RS-232C port is
displayed on the CRT, and optionally written to the system printer,
and/or written to a disk file. Typed characters are transmitted out the
selected serial port (COM1 or COM2).
To run the program, type COMM <enter>.
Softkeys
The program is controlled by the softkeys F1 thru F9:
F1
The file 'LCONFIG.LCR' is accessed, and you can select the
configuration entry you wish to use. This file is simply an ASCII
file that contains preset RS-232C configurations. Move the cursor
using the down/up arrow keys on your computer to access the
appropriate LI-COR instrument configuration, and press <Enter> to
select that configuration. Notice that there is also a 'General
Purpose' configuration for instruments which do not appear on the
menu. If you wish to add to the file, use a text editor, and model the
new entries after the existing ones. Help files for each configuration
can also be specified.
When F1 is pressed, there is always a 'User Defined' entry appended
to the list found in the configuration file. Selecting this entry allows
you to set whatever configuration you might wish to use that is not
already in one of the existing options. Simply model your entry as
COMM.EXE 5
they appear in the existing configuration files (i.e., Com1 or
Com2:Baud Rate, Data Bits, Stop Bits, and Parity).
Any text editor can also be used to append the 'LCONFIG.LCR' file
as well. Model the new entries as they appear in this file, and save
the file as a Text (ASCII) file.

Change serial (COM) ports. If more than 1 COM port is present,
this key will toggle between COM1 and COM2.
Local Echo ON or OFF. If ON, characters typed on the keyboard
are echoed to the CRT, in addition to being transmitted.
Clears the upper portion of the display.
Printer ON or OFF. When ON, incoming data is copied to the
system printer.
File: Press this key to specify a file into which incoming data will
be copied. Once defined, press F6 again to close the file.
Help. Accesses the specified help file (see F1).
CRT: ON Toggling this to OFF prevents incoming data from being
displayed on the CRT. Instead, only a byte count is displayed. If a
file (F6) is not open, the incoming data is lost.
Terminates the program.
