MONITORING-PAM (Aquatic Version - MONITORING-PAM)

Design

Aluminum box with custom foam packing for MONITORING-PAM

Dimensions

60 cm x 40 cm x 25 cm (L x W x H)
42 liter

Weight

4.7 kg

Program

WinControl-3 System Control and Data Acquisition Program (Microsoft Windows 10 and 11) for operation of measuring system via PC, data acquisition and analysis. Not compatible with Windows 10 on ARM

Saturation Pulse Analysis

Measured: Ft, F0, FM, F, F0’ (also calculated), FM’. Depending on the leaf clip connected, the software can record PAR, temperature and also humidity. [In the case of the MINI-PAM-II clip humidity can be measured, which the clip of the JUNIOR-PAM cannot.]
Calculated: F0’ (also measured), FV/FM and Y(II) (maximum and effective photochemical yield of PS II, respectively), qL, qP, qN, NPQ, Y(NPQ), Y(NO) and ETR (electron transport rate)

Fitting Routines

Two routines for determination of the cardinal points α, Ik and ETRmax of light curves

Programmed Features

Automatic determination of signal offset for all light intensities and gain levels. Automatic calibration of internal PAR sensor against an external PAR sensor connected to the instrument

Computer Requirements

Processor: 0.8 GHz, RAM: 512 MB, screen resolution: 1024 x 600 pixels, interface: USB 2.0/3.0

Communication Protocol

USB

General design
Housing
As described for MONI-HEAD/485 but polyoxymethylene (POM) replaces aluminum as housing material and a special underwater 6-pole socket replaces the standard 5-pole RS485 socket. Waterproof down to a depth of 75 m
Sample clip
As described for MONI-HEAD/485 but titanium replaces aluminum
Cables
Special underwater cables for communication and power. Standard length: 10 m (MONI-HEAD/S to MONI-IB4/LANS, MONI-HEAD/S to MONI-DA/S, or MONI-DA/S to MONI-IB1/S)
Dimension, power consumption, and operating temperature

Light Emission and Sensors

As described for MONI-HEAD/485

As described for PC Interface Box MONI-IB4/LAN but four special waterproof 6-pole sockets replace the M12 5-pole sockets. Special underwater cable for communication and power included. Standard length: 10 m

As described for Data Acquisition MONI-DA but waterproof 6-pole sockets replace M12 5-pole sockets and microSD card non-removable. Waterproof down to a depth of 75 m

As described for PC Interface Box MONI-IB1 but a waterproof 6-pole socket replaces the M12 5-pole socket for RS-485 communication
