“Point-and-shoot” technology to instantly measure relative chlorophyll content


  • Detects stress earlier than visual monitoring
  • Technology based on an exclusive patent license from NASA
  • 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 (not included)**
  • Compatible with SpecMaps™ online web-mapping application
  • Includes hard carrying case and batteries


*  GPS interface requires two cables.  The GPS/DGPS cable (item 2950CV5) is available from Spectrum.

A PC serial interface cable supplied by the manufacturer of the GPS receiver is also required.

**  PC cable connects to a computer USB port.
