The Light Sensor Holder Bracket is designed to securely position either the Light Sensor (LS-BTA) or Go Direct® Light and Color Sensor (GDX-LC) to the optics bench.
To attach the Light Sensor, attach the tube mount onto the base of the holder us...
Light Sensor (LS-BTA)
Specifications and User Guide
Troubleshooting
Primary Test: Make sure that the sensor is not picking up the 60 or 120 Hz flicker from fluorescent or other lamps. Eliminate all artificial light source...
It is not necessary to perform a new calibration when using the Light Sensor (LS-BTA) in the classroom. You can simply connect the sensor to a Vernier data-collection interface and start your Vernier data-collection program. When the sensor is automa...
The Vernier light sensors can not be used to measure PAR, photosynthetically active radiation. They do not have the right spectral response nor are they calibrated correctly.
If you want to measure PAR you should consider purchasing a Vernier PAR sen...
Some Light Sensors were produced with an incorrect sticker that labels the 3-position switch on the Light Sensor. The switch should be labeled:
Range (lux)
0-6000
0-600
0-150,000
If instead the switch is labeled with units of µS, the sticker...
The most common problem is that the power supply driving the light source is noisy, causing a 60 or 120 Hz flicker of the light level from fluorescent, incandescent, or other lamps.
Your eye does not pick this up, but the sensor will. You may be ...
