Hope someone can help. I have owned an instromet sunshine recorder for 19 years and it's worked extremely well as a stand alone record. I recently purchased their data-logger, but its boxed up ready to return to Instromet - I did not like their outdated software and it's flaky operation. It's a pity this robust piece of equipment appears to have very little support anywhere, as the sensor is brilliant! Surely it must be a simple task to use a datalogger that can recognise the output and then to be able to transfer this data to a PC system and ultimately link it to Cumulus! Detailed sunshine records in hourly or minute formats are difficult to find. I was looking at the Pico data logger to replace the Instromet data-logger, but I am not an electronics expert. Campbell Scientific have a data-logger that could be used, but their entry level costs £620. A price I am not willing to pay for a single digital output!
If anyone has had experience with the task of logging the output electronically as described I would be grateful if you could share.
