Click the ‘
Settings
’ icon to display the software options.
Note
‘Light Source’
is not a selectable option. The SQ-520 is
calibrated for all light sources, therefore, this function is not
necessary for the SQ-520. The function is designed to give
increased accuracy for the SQ-420.
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.
Clicking
‘Immersion Setting’
will automatically apply the sensor’s
immersion effect correction factor of 1.08 to the sensor
measurements. This setting should be used when the sensor is
being used to take measurements underwater.
