SunScan System Measurement modes
Workabout setup
With your planned experiments in mind, you should now know what measurements
you want to make, and what equipment you will need. The following section
describes the three display functions that you may use, and gives advice on the
handling of SunData configuration files.
The LAI, PAR and All displays
(Note that the values in the screens below were generated with the emulator for
illustration purposes and may not be very realistic).
LAI display
LAI readings are available only in this mode.
With Beam Fraction sensor
With no BFS
PAR display
This display is most often used for simple light interception measurements which
can later be processed to give values of the fractional interception.
All display
This mode is appropriate for PAR mapping and profiling. Each stored reading
contains the summary readings displayed, plus the 64 individual photodiode
readings. Don't use this mode unless you have to - it will consume data file memory
space much more rapidly!
In the
All
display on the Workabout, there is not enough room to display the
individual photodiode readings. You can only view these in the File, Review screen,
or after transferring the data file to your PC (but they can be viewed with a PC
connected directly to the SunScan probe instead of the Workabout).
