Apogee SQ-520 Smart Quantum Sensor - USB Output

Description

Apogee SQ-520 Smart Quantum Sensor - USB Output
Product #:
APG-SQ-520
The new SQ-520 full-spectrum, smart quantum sensor can be connected directly to a computer via USB for taking spot measurements or graphing and datalogging real-time PPFD using the included software. The sensor can also act as a stand-alone PAR datalogger by simply connecting it to any standard 5 V DC USB power plug. 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.
Application
The SQ-520 is used to measure incoming and reflected PPFD around plants and other organisms in outdoor environments, greenhouses, growth chambers, and underwater.
Refined Spectral Response
The improved spectral response of the SQ-520 increases the accuracy of LED measurements making it ideal for use with both natural and electric light sources.
The versatile SQ-520 can be used two ways - it can be connected directly to a computer for real-time measurements and data logging using the provided software, or it can be connected to a standard USB power source and act as a stand-alone datalogger capable of storing 10,000 periodic measurements internally that can be downloaded to a computer later for analysis.
No Datalogger Required
The sensor can be connected to a desktop, laptop, or tablet computer via USB 2.0 type A plug to be used with the Apogee software. The included Apogee software gives the user control of data logging and calibration settings, provides a real time output display and graph of PPFD measurements and allows the data set to be saved as a csv file.
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 an independent battery pack or USB wall adapter.
