Parameter: fluorescence counts

Short Description:

fluorescence counts

Short Name:

flr

Official Name:

fluorescence counts

Units:

counts

Graphable:

Yes

Description

Output of a WetLabs fluorometer passed through a MetraByte A/D converter to convert the 0-5 volt dc fluorometer output to serial (count) data. The MetraByte device sets the output decimal point as necessary for best resolution, which results in a 1 volt dc fluorometer value being represented as +01000.00 in the raw MetraByte serial stream. (from Calliope metadata file KN207-01)
