7. Datalogger Programming
The CNR4 outputs four voltages that typically range from 0 to 15 mV for the
pyranometers, and
±
5 mV for the pyrgeometers. A differential voltage
measurement is recommended because it has better noise rejection than a single-
ended measurement. If differential channels are not available, single-ended
measurements can be used. The acceptability of a single-ended measurement can
be determined by simply comparing the results of single-ended and differential
measurements made under the same conditions.
Additionally, one voltage excitation channel and a single-ended analogue channel
are required to make the temperature measurement, using the thermistor.
