Solar Calibration

For the CMX solar calibration settings, is it possible to add a second order calibration factor? I am experimenting with diffusers over a solar sensor to provide better low sun angle measurements and the extra setting would allow me to compensate for the action of the diffuser.

I think you will have to explain that in bit more detail please. You mean the Bras turbidity/R-S transmission factors?

Apologies - My query was worded very poorly.

In the Cumulus MX Calibration Settings, a non-linear Multiplier^2 factor is available for raw temperature and humidity readings. Is there any way of applying a similar Multiplier^2 to the raw solar radiation readings to assist with my experiments?

Thanks, I'll put it on the todo list - might as well make all the multipliers consistent and do them all.

Mark,

Many thanks for your response as it's more than I was expecting.
