Introduction
The Kipp & Zonen METEON is a high-performance sensor readout unit with integrated data
logger.
The sensor sensitivity is programmed into the METEON such that the readout will show
calibrated engineering units, rather than millvolts or microvolts.
Use of the data logger functions and programming the sensor sensitivity is done with the USB
interface which is standard supplied to connect the METEON to a PC.
