Download pdf (76 KB)

Symphonie loggers support meteorological sensors using a choice of optional Signal Conditioning Modules (SCMs). The Kipp and Zonen CSD3 Sunshine Duration sensor provides outputs for Sunshine Duration and Direct Irradiance. The NRG logger collects and stores data in raw format; a scale factor needs to be calculated to convert the raw data to engineering units for each channel. This application note explains which SCM and scale factors to use with the CSD3 and also how to connect the sensor to SymphoniePLUS and SymphoniePLUS3.
