The MQ-501 Handheld Full-Spectrum Quantum Meter is an advanced device designed for measuring light intensity across the full spectrum, including photosynthetically active radiation (PAR). Here’s an overview of its features, applications, and specifications.
The MQ-501 Handheld Full-Spectrum Quantum Meter is a versatile and essential tool for anyone involved in plant sciences, agriculture, and environmental monitoring. Its ability to measure light across a full spectrum allows for detailed analysis and informed decision-making.
The meter has a sample and log mode, and will record an integrated daily total in mol m-2 d-1. Sample mode will record up to 99 manual measurements. Log mode will power the meter on/off to make a measurement every 30 seconds. Every 30 minutes the meter will average the sixty 30 second measurements and record the averaged value to memory. The meter can store up to 99 averages, once full it will start to overwrite the oldest measurement with new ones. An integrated daily total will be recorded from the 48 averaged measurements (making a 24 hr period). Sample and log measurements can be reviewed on the LCD display or by downloading the data to a computer, however, the integrated daily total can only be viewed by downloading the data to a computer. Downloading data to a computer requires the (a standard USB cable will not work) and . Comes with a free protective carrying case.
