6 Using the FluxGage
The DUT should be placed over the opening of the FluxGage and centered. The DUT can be
supported by an adapter plate secured to top surface of the FluxGage using the ¼-20 threads.
The adapter plate should have an opening cut out to allow light from the DUT to reach the
FluxGage.
Taking measurements with FluxGage:
Step 1. AutoSet
Place the DUT over the FluxGage and turn it on. Press Autoset. The FluxGage will automatically
set the integration time of the spectrometer and other internal settings.
Step 2. Background
Turn the DUT off. Press ‘Background’. The FluxGage will measure the background signal of the
spectrometer and the solar panel current meter. These will be subtracted from the actual
measurement.
Do not move the DUT after the background measurement . The FluxGage will
start measuring immediately after the background measurement is done.
Step 3. Measurement
Turn the DUT on. The FluxGage will now measure and display correct results.
