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.

Operation

The METEON accepts two AA size (penlight) batteries. Use alkaline types for best results.

New, good quality batteries should give up to 50 days of continuous operation.

Remove the bottom cover of the enclosure to access the battery compartment. This can be

done by pulling the side

away with the index

finger to release the

bottom. Please take care

to follow the instruction

on the bottom of the

METEON to avoid

damage to the case.

Extract the battery holder

from the compartment,

and install two fresh

batteries. Notice the

polarization. Replace the

bottom cover and

connect the sensor.

The METEON is now ready for use. Switch the METEON on with the push-button switch on

the top.

To prevent that the METEON is switched off while logging, the on/off switched is mounted so

that the button has to be pressed quite deep to switch on or off. You can feel it and hear it

when the switch toggles. Press the small black button far enough with your nail or a pencil

until you feel and hear it switch.

Software

Use of the software requires a PC with Windows 2000 or XP operating system and a USB

interface. The software has built-in functionality for:

-programming the sensor sensitivity

-data logging functions

For each of these functions, an interface cable is required. This cable is used to connect a

METEON to the USB bus on a PC. If your METEON comes bundled with a sensor, the

sensitivity is already programmed into the METEON, In that case, the optional interface cable

and the software give you access to the data logging functions only.

Main window

After installation, the software can be started from the Start menu. The main window allows

you to:

-O

pen a previously stored file with logged data.

-A

bout .. shows the software version and link to the Kipp & Zonen website

-Exit shuts down the METEON software

The bottom line of the main window shows help (if available) on the items where the mouse

points to.

METEON window

All other functions related to the METEON are available in special windows, which will only

open once you connect an METEON to USB interface cable to the PC. You can connect more

than one of these interface cables to your PC, and for each of the interfaces a separate

window will open. These windows may be on top of each other, move them around on your

screen to reveal the ones that are covered.

When the PC cannot find a METEON connected to the cable, the caption of the window will

be ‘Nothing connected’. To connect a METEON, insert the connector from the cable into the

METEON. The PC will automatically detect the METEON. If the PC does not detect the

METEON, then check if the METEON is switched on, and check the batteries.

Once the METEON is detected, the caption of the window will show the serial number of the

METEON that was connected.

When the view data logger status box is activated the actual logger data is visualized.

-Logger status:

-the remaining interval time until the next sample is stored

-the actual min. max. and integral value over the chosen interval.

Programming the sensor sensitivity

The software is used to program the sensor sensitivity into the METEON. If the METEON

came bundled with a sensor, your supplier may already have programmed the sensitivity of

this sensor into the METEON. If that is the case, the software you received may not have this

option.

Manually

If you want to manually enter the sensor settings, the required METEON setup is determined

in the following steps:

1. Go to the ‘Sensor settings’ page. The full range output voltage of the sensor should

be less than or equal to the full scale input voltage of the METEON. The full range

output voltage is used to select the maximum input stage amplification factor of the

METEON in the software.

In the box that says ‘Input amplifier’ you can select the amplification that corresponds

to the required full scale input.

2. Next to the amplification factor, you can read how many internal counts each input

range will give you. The number that the METEON should display at the full scale

input value is entered into the multiplier input field. The number of internal counts that

corresponds to that full scale input is entered into the divider field.

3. The decimal dot position for the display is selected.

4. The METEON is programmed with the new settings. To do that. Click the ‘Program’

button.

Wizard

Alternatively, the settings are generated by software through the Wizard. Depending on the

sensor sensitivity, the Wizard will select the optimal input stage amplification for the

METEON, and store appropriate values in the multiplier and divider fields. The position of the

decimal dot in the display is also set. After the wizard is used, the METEON only has to be

programmed to make it suitable for use with the specified sensor.

The following sensors are supported:

Sensor Full scale Sensitivity

CMP 3 2000 W/m2 5 .. 20 µV / W/m2

CMP 6 2000 W/m2 5 .. 16 µV / W/m2

CMP 11 4000 W/m2 7 .. 14 µV / W/m2

CMP 21 4000 W/m2 7 .. 14 µV / W/m2

CMP 22 4000 W/m2 7 .. 14 µV / W/m2

CM 4 4000 W/m2 7 µV / W/m2

SP Lite 2000 W/m2 60 .. 100 µV / W/m2

SP Lite * 4000 W/m2 9.5 .. 10.5 µV / W/m2

PAR Lite 10,000 µmol/m2s 4 .. 6 µV / µE/m2s

NR Lite ±500 W/m2 10 µV / W/m2

CUV 4 200 W/m2 1 mV / W/m2

Use the wizard to select the sensor model that is to be used, and then enter the sensitivity of

the sensor. This is only required when the sensor is changed or when the METEON is bought

without a sensor. Otherwise the sensitivity of your sensor is already in the METEON.

Data logger

The PC software is used to enter the data logger setup, and to transfer the setup to the

METEON.

When the METEON is programmed with a new data logger setup, the logger memory in the

METEON is erased, and then the new settings are used to start a new logging sequence. The

logging only stops when the logger memory is full, when the batteries are depleted, or when

the METEON is switched off. The PC software can be used to check the logging activities,

and the METEON also shows some display characters to indicate what it is doing.

Note:

When the METEON is switched off, all logged values and settings remain in the (flash)

memory, even when the batteries are removed.

Log interval

The log interval is entered in seconds. The pull-down box can be used to preset the correct

number of seconds for some popular log intervals. Note that the pull-down is only used for

selecting a preset, the number on the left is the log interval that will be transferred to, and

used by, the data logger in the METEON.

Initial delay

When logging starts, an optional delay can be used to postpone the start of the first logging

interval until a specified date and time. This date and time at which the first interval will start,

can be entered in the PC software.

When the logger is busy counting down

the delay for the first logging interval,

the LCD on the METEON shows an ‘l’

that flashes at a slow ( 1 second on,

one second off) rate.

In the example on the left the logging

starts on Aug. 2007 13:41

Logging

Once the initial delay has elapsed (the initial delay can be 0) the first logging interval is

started. The METEON is now actually logging, and the ‘l’ on the LCD flashes rapidly ( ½

second on, ½ second off)

Logged values

During a logging interval, the METEON accumulates minimum input value, maximum input

value, and average input value. Once the logging interval has elapsed, the values are stored

in the logger memory and the next interval is started. Each time the METEON stores a new

set of values in the logger memory, it flashes the ‘m’ sign on the display. Logging only stops

when the logger memory is full, when the batteries are depleted, or when the METEON is

switched off.

Read status

You can view the logger status while the logger is active. Reading the status will not interfere

with the logging process.

The status will show what the logger is doing, how much time remains in the current interval

(if the logger is logging) and what the measured values are. The logger measures an integral

over the logging interval. The PC software uses the integral and the interval period to

calculate an average value over the logging interval.

Read data

Use the PC software to read the logger memory from the METEON. You can do this while the

METEON is logging, reading data will not interfere with the logging process. When the data

from the logger memory is collected, it will be presented in a chart.
