Sensor Calibration

All Apogee unamplified quantum sensor model (SQ-100X) have a standard PPFD calibration factor of exactly:

Multiply this calibration factor by the measured mV signal to convert sensor output to PPFD in units of µmol m

Example of PPFD measurement with an Apogee

quantum sensor. Full sunlight yields a PPFD on

a horizontal plane at the Earth's surface of

approximately 2000 µmol m

output signal of 200 mV. The signal is

converted to PPFD by multiplying by the
