2.2 Sensor Calibration Data
Apollo will store calibration factors and information for up to 6 different sensors in its memory. These
can be viewed and edited by the user. Each sensor configuration allows two scaling factors to be used (e.g.
mW m
-2 / W m -2 / mmol m -2 etc.). Each "sensor storage" will store the information described below, and are
automatically known as sensor 1, 2, 3...6. Editing these configurations can be done by following the steps in
Section 2.4.
Please note that if you bought Apollo in conjunction with a Skye sensor (Apollo Package), Apollo will
already be configured to work with those sensors.
2.3 Viewing Stored Sensor Information
To view the stored sensor configurations, go to Menu > Rd Sensr Setup > "Choose which sensor's configuration to
view" (1-6). Press
6
or [Next] to move to the next item on the list, and
5
to move back to previous item.
Sensor (1-6):
Description
The name given to the sensor. By default this is the type of sensor supplied with Apollo (e.g. UV-A/UV-B etc.). This can be
edited to any phrase the user prefers (limit of 12 characters). This will show when you enter Read Sensor, in order to identify
which sensor configuration is used.
Units (Scale1)
The name of the units of scale 1. By default this is set as mW m-2. Again this can be edited to any phrase the user prefers
(limit of 12 characters). This is shown on the "Read Sensor" screen to identify the units that the reading is scaled to.
O/P Units/mV Sc.1
This number relates to how Apollo scales the voltage output of the sensor to a meaningful reading with appropriate units.
This is essentially the amount of the chosen unit that a 1mV reading equals. The Sc.1 in the title refers to which scale is being
viewed.
Offset mV Sc.1
The value of the sensor's "dark" current, or constant offset from zero in mV. Amplified sensors inevitably have a small output
voltage not derived from accepting light, and as such this value needs to be deducted from the reading.
Units (Scale2)
Same as previous, but for scale 2.
O/P Units/mV Sc.2
Same as previous, but for scale 2.
Offset mV Sc.2
Same as previous, but for scale 2. You may wish to add your own permanent offset here also, useful for those interested in
observing the change in light from a known/set standard. If doing so, we would suggest stating so in the "Units" value.
Connection Mode
The mode Apollo "connects" to a sensor. Default is Mode 3, which is appliccable to Skye amplified sensors. Please see
Section 6 & Appendix 2 for more details.
