The new SP-420 smart pyranometer can be connected directly to a computer 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. More Details
