Calibration Check and Calibration
Procedure
LM21 Background Luminance Sensor can be field
calibrated by using the LMA21 field calibration unit.
Calibration is performed by using a stabilized white LED.
The LED has been stabilized by a feedback loop. The light
beam is diffused through the opal glass window of the
calibrator. The calibrator also includes a non-volatile
memory which stores the calibration coefficients of the light
intensity. These coefficients have been stored during factory
calibration.
