Technical background
The philosophy behind NeuLog's plug and play
technology is based on each sensor's ability to store its
own data due to an internal flash memory chip and
micro-controller in each plastic NeuLog body. This
technology allows the sensor to collect and then store
the digital data in the correct scientific units (for
o
o
example:
C,
F, Lux, %, ppm).
The sensor is pre-calibrated at the factory. The built-in
software in the logger can be upgraded for free at any
time using the provided firmware update.
Inside the hard plastic casing, lies a photodiode which
reacts
with
photons
to
release
free
electrons
(photoelectrons). The amount of light striking the sensor
is directly proportional to the voltage generated by the
photoelectrons released. The sensor measures the
general voltage released and thus calculates the light
intensity.
If the light readout is very low, try changing the sensor's
mode to a higher sensitivity.
