Description
Features
- Portable handheld display unit
- Suitable for most Kipp & Zonen radiometers
- Displays real-time solar radiation values
- User-friendly Windows™ software
- Long battery life (50 days with 2 AA batteries)
The Meteon unit displays real-time radiation values in Watt per square meter or PAR in micro-mol per square meter per second. Configuration with a computer is simple, using the supplied software and USB interface cable. Just select the radiometer type from a list, enter its sensitivity (shown on the label on the sensor), and the correct measuring range is automatically selected. The software also allows logged data to be presented graphically, or it can be exported to spreadsheets, such as Excel.
The light weight, small size and ease of use make Meteon the perfect choice for field or test use in Meteorology, Agriculture, Industry and Education. The supplied carrying case also provide sufficient space for a pyranometer allowing everything you require to be kept in one case.
