New(er) Beckman LS 6000IC (SysID# 231220) scintillation counter donated to SIO-CalCOFI by NOAA in early 2008.  Repaired by SIO-CalCOFI and in service Oct 2008,  replacing our broken/non-repairable Beckman LS 1801.

• First cruise counted on new counter: 0810NH
• New productivity import routine (DECODR, in-house data processing suite) written to ingest the new file format. Replicate 14C uptake calculations compared between old and new Beckman counters; agree within 95% CL.
