optic2 - optical parameters measured by a Satlantic OCR sensor
RBR data loggers support the integration of the Satlantic OCR-504 sensor for measurement of optical parameters such as PAR, irradiance, and radiance.
This is not a 'corrected' output channel, as it has no dependence on any other channel in the logger. However it does make use of the x-group of coefficients, as a convenient means of implementing an internal scale factor. The c-group coefficients correspond directly to sensor coefficients provided by the manufacturer; the x0 coefficient is used only as an internal scaling factor, and its value must not be changed.
The equation is:
where
R is the logger's reported voltage ratio,
x0 has the fixed value 2^32 (4294967296) and must not be changed.
c0 corresponds exactly to the Satlantic coefficient
a0
,c1 corresponds exactly to the Satlantic coefficient
a1
c2 corresponds exactly to the Satlantic coefficient
