Note: Besides the pre-defined vegetation indices, the user has the possibility to define own formula based on
specific wavelengths identified. The calculation of the designed formula can be specified in the Config file of the
device and subsequently automatically calculated and displayed among routinely calculated indices (please refer
to page 36 for explanation).
