9 CONFIGURATION CHANGES
Below configuration changes are applied from supplied (Unity) software.
SET UNITS
9.1
Select Metric or Imperial Units. This setting is applied only to on-screen displays.
The change of units in software is independent of what the device reports on its
display.
SET TIMEZONE
9.2
Select your time zone offset. This setting is needed to display your local date and
time. Also, it is required to calculate the moon's visibility, age, and astronomical
sunrise and sunset time.
SET SLEEP AFTER
9.3
Select a range of 1 to 30 minutes. This is the time interval (in minutes) that your
device will go to sleep mode after button inactivity. (USB operation ignores this
value and keeps the device always up and running)
SET LIGHT READOUT OFFSET
9.4
Set a readout offset (-999 to +999) to properly configure the Sky Quality Light
sensor.
This value is multiplied by 0.01 and applied to the measured light (MPSAS) scale.
E.g to increase MPSAS readout to 0.2 you need to set the SQM offset to 20.
9.5
SET INFRARED SENSOR EMISSIVITY
Emissivity is a relative measure of how efficiently an object radiates heat. A perfect
thermal emitter has an emissivity of 1.0, but most real-world objects range from 0
to 1. For example, human skin has an emissivity of about 0.98. Shiny metals have
a very low emissivity, for example polished aluminium has an emissivity of 0.05.
Painted aluminium has an emissivity of 0.45. In cloud detection algorithm we use
emissivity of 1.0. Emissivity value can be configured from Unity Platform software.
