What is it?
atLEAF CHL BLUE is a powerful, handheld, easy to use device with USB and Bluetooth connections for
noninvasively measuring the relative chlorophyll content of green leaf plants.
Chlorophyll content can be an indicator of the plant’s condition.
How does it work?
Plant relative chlorophyll concentration is measured by inserting a leaf into the device aperture.
Green leaves of up to 0.1 inch (3mm) thickness can be measured. It only takes one press
of the key to perform a basic measurement.
By utilizing the four atLEAF CHL BLUE keys you can:
assign species names to the measurements; device can store up to 490 names
view up to 9,554 measurements stored in the device’s memory
delete the most recently performed measurement
delete all measurements
transfer plant names to the device or measurements to a computer using the USB mode
display sensor temperature in °F and °C
display time (*)
perform and show average on selectable number of stored measurements
Each performed measure has associated device time and sensor temperature (*).

When measures are performed remotely through the mobile, they are stored on the mobile storage area. Depending both on the mobile features and on the app settings they can be stored with the following values:
CHL measure value
atLEAF device temperature
measure name selected on mobile
latitude and longitude coordinates of the mobile
By enabling a setting on the app, the remotely performed measures can also be stored on the atLEAF CHL BLUE device as: CHL measure value, temperature and device time. These values can be downloaded through USB to a PC with the atLEAFSoft software (*).
