Gain; Damping - Walz MINI-PAM-II Manual

Chapter 7
The average PAR of measuring light at highest frequency and
highest intensity setting was measured to be 1.5 µmol m
the PAR sensor of the 2035-B leaf clip and MINI-PAM-II fiber in
the fully inserted position. For the same geometrical arrange-
ment, average measuring light intensities can be estimated using
the subsequent equation:

Gain

Selecting "Gain" by the SET gives access to four electronic
amplification factors (1 to 4) which can be adjusted by the arrow
keys.
7.3.1.4

Damping

Damping is a software-based filter that specifically suppresses
high frequency noise and, thus, can improve signal quality.
Changing damping settings uses the same principle as described
for "Gain". Default setting for damping is 2 (two). Changing
damping to higher values can make the MINI-PAM-II response
slow.
