Introduction
Jaz Overview
Jaz is a community of stackable, modular and autonomous component modules that combine to create a
community of smart sensing instruments that is unfettered by the limits of traditional optical sensing
instrumentation: a powerful microprocessor and onboard display eliminate the need for a PC; stackable,
autonomous instrument modules allow users to customize the system to their changing application needs;
and Ethernet connectivity plus SD card data storage capability facilitate remote operation.
The Jaz Irradiance application allows you to do onboard absolute irradiance measurements using the JAZ.
Users will now be able to go into the field, measure light sources and even perform post processing
(Lumen, Lux, PAR, Watt) without the need of a computer.
The Jaz Irradiance application is resident on an SD card. When used with the Jaz Lightmeter, Jaz
becomes a true light meter for use in field measurements. Your Jaz must have an Ethernet module or
Battery module to read the SD card.
