The output format of the 3 Licor 7500s that were re-installed today had been reconfigured during the calibration to output in verbose mode, with labels. To save archive space, we reconfigure the units for a more terse output, without labels, at 10 Hz.

To setup the Licors to output the format that our data system expects, do the following:

1. shut down the data process
   adn
2. run minicom on the Licor port
   minicom ttyS2
3. If the baud rate agrees with minicom (9600) you should see the default Licor output
4. Send a break character, by doing control-A f from minicom
   ctrl-Af
5. Send these strings to the Licor:

(Outputs (RS232 (EOL "0A") (Labels FALSE) (DiagRec FALSE) (Ndx FALSE) (Aux FALSE) (Cooler FALSE)
(CO2Raw TRUE) (CO2D TRUE) (H2ORaw TRUE) (H2OD TRUE) (Temp  TRUE) (Pres TRUE) (DiagVal TRUE)))
(Outputs (BW 10) (RS232 (Freq 10.0)  (Baud 9600)))
 

1. Exit minicom with control-A q
   ctrl-Aq

1. restart the data process:
   aup
2. check the Licor data (may take 30 seconds or so for the data system to open the port):
   rs 2
3. The data should look like:

   248\t0.06460\t12.4193\t0.01218\t81.586\t16.10\t76.1\t\n 248\t0.06462\t12.4179\t0.01207\t81.459\t16.11\t76.1\t\n

4. Exit rserial with control-D
   ctrl-d
