FieldScout CM1000 NDVI Portable Chlorophyll Meter (Normalized Diff. Vegetation Index)

“Point-and-shoot” technology to instantly measure red (660 nm) and near
infrared (840 nm) spectral bands

• Detects stress earlier than visual monitoring
• Computes Normalized Difference Vegetative Index (NDVI)
• 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 and USB-to-3.5mm-Stereo-Plug Adapther (Item 3661U.(included)**
• Compatible with SpecMaps™ online web-mapping application
•  Includes hard carrying case and batteries
