The new SP-420 smart pyranometer can be connected directly to a computer (Windows or macOS X) for taking spot measurements or graphing and datalogging real-time shortwave radiation using the included software. The sensor can also act as a stand-alone shortwave radiation datalogger by simply connecting it to most standard 5 V DC USB power sources. Internal memory within the sensor head is capable of storing 10,000 user-specified periodic measurements that can be downloaded as a csv file to a computer for analysis.
Internal Data Storage
The sensor has internal data storage capability with the ability to hold up to 10,000 measurements. This allows the sensor to collect data while connected to a stand-alone 5 V DC power supply such as a USB wall adapter.
No Datalogger Required
The sensor can be connected to a desktop or laptop computer via USB 2.0 type A plug, to be used with the ApogeeConnect software (Windows compatible, XP and later; Mac compatible, 10.10 and later). The included Apogee software gives the user control of data logging and calibration settings, provides a real time output display and graph of shortwave radiation measurements and allows the data set to be saved as a csv file.
