Anonymous Poster	Pyranometer Circuit Diagram 05/27/2008 6:26 PM
	I would like to see a circuit diagram for a pyranometer. Pyranometers using thermopiles or those using solar cells. thanks.

	Given that the above posting is in the Education section, please educate the reader as to what is a pyranometer and what is a thermopile, and why solar cells are neede to operate them. Such contextual information enables a specific response to appear more quickly than would be the case otherwise. __________________ "Did you get my e-mail?" - "The biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place" - George Bernard Shaw, 1856

	I'm sure you've done this, but, just in case see:- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyranometer I'm just guessing here, but:- The thermopile may be specially designed but I guess is just a thermocouple with calibrated output: in which case the required circuit will just be a current meter. __________________ If you spend all your time looking for people and things to complain about: trust me, you will find plenty to complain about.
