Replacing CMP6

When the pyranometer is shipped from Vaisala for AWS330, it is already
calibrated to the station. However, if the sensor is replaced with a new
one, the calibration has to be done on site using AWS Client software.
For details on the mechanical installation, refer to section Installing
Pyranometer CMP6 on page 82. For configuri
ng the pyranometer with
AWS Client, proceed as follows:

1.

Open AWS Client: From Start menu, select All Programs -
Vaisala - AWS Client.

2. On

the

Settings menu, select Calibration.

3.

The list of measurements available for calibration is displayed.
Select the Solar Radiation measurement from the list.
Figure 111 below illustrates radiation calibration. Radiation sensors
tend to have individual characteristics; therefore, they always need
to be calibrated prior to operation.
