Instrument Description:

A fluorometer or fluorimeter is a device used to measure parameters of fluorescence: its intensity and wavelength distribution of emission spectrum after excitation by a certain spectrum of light. The instrument is designed to measure the amount of stimulated electromagnetic radiation produced by pulses of electromagnetic radiation emitted into a water sample or in situ.

Dataset-specific description

WetLabs Wet-Star fluorometer located in the Hydro Lab clean seawater piping. A MetraByte A/D converter is used to convert the 0-5 vdc fluorometer output to serial data. This device sets the output decimal point as necessary for best resolution, which results in a 1 vdc fluorometer value being represented as +01000.00 in the raw MetraByte serial stream.
