Click the ‘
Settings
’ icon to display the software
options.
Clicking
‘Calibration’
will display the factory calibrated
multiplier and offset values. These values are saved in
firmware and can be recovered by clicking the
‘Recover Original’ button. Deriving a new calibration
multiplier and offset is accomplished by clicking the
‘Recalibrate’ button. This is applicable if users want to
calibrate the sensor to their own specific light source.
Note that a reference PAR value of the light source is
required to complete a recalibration.
After clicking the ‘Recalibate’ button the us
er will be
prompted to cover the sensor. Place a dark cap over the
sensor and wait for the real-time PAR reading to settle
at zero. Click OK.
Uncover the sensor and wait for the PAR reading to
settle
before
entering the reference value. Click OK.
Clicking
‘Immersion Setting’
will automatically apply
the sensor’s immersion effect correction factor of 1.
18
to the sensor measurements. This setting should be
used when the sensor is being used to take
measurements underwater.
