5.2.3. Spectral Response Curve V(
Visible light is electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths between 380nm and 780nm. The response curve of the
eye as a function of wavelength has been determined by the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission). This
is the V(λ) curve, or relative spectral luminous efficiency curve for photopic vision (daytime vision).
Relative luminous efficiency:
The error on the spectral response of the sensor is equal to the area of the differences between the V(λ) curve and
the curve of the sensor.
5.2.4. Variation According to the Type of Light Source
The Model 1110 provides three measurement compensations:
Incandescent (default)
LED
FLUO (fluorescent)
LED compensation is for measurements on LEDs at 4000K. The intrinsic uncertainty in this case is 4%. If this
compensation is used for other LEDs, the intrinsic error is increased as indicated in the following table.
FLUO compensation is for measurements on type F11 fluorescent sources. The intrinsic uncertainty in this case is
4%. If this compensation is used for other fluorescent sources, the intrinsic error is increased as indicated below.

5.3. Memory
The instrument has 8MB of flash memory, sufficient to record and store a million measurements. Each record
contains the measurement value, date and time, and unit of measure.
