    Cs300 pyranometer 1. General description the cs300 measures incoming solar radiation with a silicon photovoltaic detector mounted in a cosine-corrected head. Output from the detector is a current, which is converted to voltage by a potentiometer potted in the sensor head. The resistance of the poten...
