Page 21: Description Of The System And Functional Overview
7 Description of the system and functional overview Description of the system and functional overview The RMD radiometer is a development of Opsytec Dr. Gröbel GmbH. More than 30 years of experience in all areas of irradiance and illuminance measurement have gone into this easy- to-use radiometer. - Page 22 7 Description of the system and functional overview But keep in mind that radiation measurements are not as easy as measuring lengths with a scale. Although the measuring device provides you with a number, this number depends in many ways on your measuring arrangement. For example, the measured value decreases with the cosine of the tilt angle when the sensor is tilted off the axis of the radiator-sensor.
