| Summary: | A low-cost sun tracking and data acquisition system for the SPO 2 and SP10 1 sun photometers were developed. The sun-tracking system has a 1-degree pointing error and was based on a mathematical algorithm that depends on the position of the observer and the time of observation. A virtual instrument software called "The Sun photometer Data Acquisition System" (SunDAPS) was developed using LabVIEW6.1TM. It was used to acquire analog signals from the sun photometers and control the tracking system through the NI PCI-6023 ETM DAQ card. |
