CI Systems Colorad - Multi Channel Radiometer
Product Code:
LP934
Manufacturer: CI Systems
Colorad - Multi Channel Radiometer
- Up to 4 channels
- Configurable range of 0.2-14 µm
- Field of view (FOV) options for 40 or 80 mrad
- Ability to add telescopes for wide or narrow FOV
- Chopped mode for high sensitivity
- Direct mode for high speed (>100 kHz/channel
- Spectral & ND filters easily replaced during operation
The ColoRad is a multi-channel radiometer which is able to perform simultaneous radiometric measurements in up to 4 channels (two of which can be cryogenically cooled) with high sensitivity and speed.
The ColoRad is the perfect tool for performing field measurements in a number of defined spectral bands.
- Radiometric channels are customer configurable and cover the range 0.2-14 µm
- Field of view (FOV) options for 40 or 80 mrad are available with the ability to add telescopes for wide or narrow FOV. For example, a ColoRad may be ordered with 40 mrad FOV and an additional set of telescopes to increase the FOV to 80 mrad
- The Chopped operation mode gives high sensitivity, with a Direct mode available for fast measurements with sampling rates > 100kHz/channel
- User replaceable spectral filters and ND filters easily replaced during operation
- Comes complete with a small ruggedized PC and Power supply in separate carry case
