4. PROGRAMMING

NOTE: Information in this section is not
necessary when programming the
MetData1 with the Short Cut Program
Builder software.

Solar radiation can be reported as an average
flux density (W m

-2

) or daily total flux density

(MJ m

-2

). The appropriate multipliers are listed

in Table 4-1. Programming examples are given
for both average and daily total solar radiation.

The output from the LI200X is 0.2 kW m

-2

mV

-1

.

4.1 AVERAGE SOLAR RADIATION

Example 1 shows the program instructions used
to measure the signal from the LI200X. A thirty
minute average is calculated and stored in final
storage.
