Technical background:
The philosophy behind NeuLog’s plug and play technology is based on each sensor’s
ability to store its own data due to an internal flash memory chip and micro-controller
in each plastic NeuLog body. This technology allows the sensor to collect and then
store the digital data in the correct scientific units (
o
C,
o
F, Lux, %, ppm, for example).
The sensor is pre-calibrated at the factory. The built-in software in the logger can be
upgraded for free at any time using the provided firmware update.
The UVB sensor uses a special photodiode which reacts with electromagnetic
radiation in the UV spectrum. An internal selective filter limits the range down to
specifically the UVB range (320 to 280 nm) so only UVB rays may pass through. UVB
