Frequently Asked Questions
FAQs - General
Questions that apply to several product lines or applications.
What is an immersion coefficient?
What does the "integrated" column in my software contain?
In many scientific papers we’ve seen the units of the readings in W/m2. Is this the same unit as the one the software uses (i.e., W/m2/nm)? Do we need to do some calculations to obtain W/m2?
How often do we need to do the “dark correct” or “zero”? We did the “dark correct” when we measured the irradiance in our culture chamber. When we go into the field, we will do it again, but do we need to do it every time we go into the field?
Why does the depth on my instrument jump to 28 cm from 0?
Why do I get different answers from two sensors?
I need the command codes for the BIC.
What is the difference between a PAR sensor equipped with a cosine irradiance collector and one with a scalar irradiance collector?
I am having trouble connecting to my PC.
What is the value of K(PAR) for pure water?
