3883 2019-02-12 East End Gas Analyzer CH4 Upgrade East End Gas Analyzer CH4 Upgraded firmware (embedded software) from 1.0.23 to 1.0.27. Licor change log: "Expanded a buffer in the DSP to prevent phase changes in the DSP data caused when the buffer filled up. This fixes the synchronization loss and resultant data loss between the LI-7550 and LI-7700."

3780 2018-10-29 Lab none Upgrade Lab none I swapped out power board pn 9677-073G per Licor's instructions. The new power board is pn 9977-079. According to Licor the original boards Rev 0, could be damaged by exposure to voltage above 24VDC. The new board Rev 0A (V3) should not have that problem.

Note: This instrument was replaced with 2 original screws and 2 long screws. The long screws were used to help re-assemble the instrument, and I forgot to swap them for the original, shorter, screws.
