1.3. Instrument Functions
The Model 1110 measures illumination from 0.1 to 200,000 lux. The instrument measures visible light only, and
excludes non-visible wavelengths (infrared, ultraviolet, and so on). It measures illumination in accordance with
the recommendations of the AFE (Association Française de l’Éclairage - French As s ociation of Illumination).
The instrument also measures decrease in illumination over time due to aging or dusty light sources.
The Model 1110 can:
Display illumination measurements in lux (lx) or foot-candles (fc).
Record minimum, average (mean), and maximum measurements within a specified period.
Record minimum/average/maximum for a surface or room.
Record and store measurements.
Communicate with a computer via Bluetooth or USB cable.
DataView with the Data Logger Control Panel software can be installed on a computer to allow you to configure
the instrument, view measurements in real time, download data from the instrument, and create reports.
