Connect Par-meter on Profilux

[Nory]

Hello,
Is it possible to connect a Parmeter / Quantum meter to Profilux 3 or 4 and reading value?

Thanks

Hello,

To my knowledge, this is not possible at this time, but the Profilux has a PLM-ADIN card with 2 analog input, so it is technically possible to connect a probe PAR / quantum, it is "just" necessary that GHL develops the software. (Currently, unless I am mistaken, the analog inputs of the PLM-ADIN card are unused.

Hello, I have this card on my Profilux... It's a pity!

At this time analog inputs of PLM-ADIN are see as 0-10v voltage input:
10253

If you find a good Par / Quantum meter with 0-10v output you may do some things:
Measurement data:
10256
Switch channels and outlets:
10254
Programmable logic:
10255

I think you can use SQ-225 from Apogee Instruments https://www.apogeeinstruments.com/sq-225-amplified-0-5-volt-electric-calibration-quantum-sensor/ with PLM-ADIN.
BUT take caution with saltwater, http://www.afishionado.org/blogs/my-take-on-neptune-systems-pmk-par-metering-kit-module
Model from N****** S****** seem salt water proof but i don't know his voltage output.

Hi,

Good idea, I'm regarding this solution...

In theory yes as people use DIY Par meters with a multimeter where 0.1mv x 3 = 1 par or something, so I guess as long as you get 0.10mv and up it should read on the voltage input of the ADIN.
