MEASUREMENT SPECIFICATIONS
Stomatal Conductance
Range 0 to 1,000 mmol/(m
2
s)
Resolution 0.1 mmol/(m
2
s)
Accuracy ±10% of measurement from 0 to 500 mmol/(m
2
s)
NOTE: The SC-1 can measure higher than 500 mmol/(m
2
s) and detect relative stomatal conductance change in
the high range, but absolute accuracy becomes unverifiable past 500 mmol/(m
2
s).
