I was looking into getting a Par Meter and ran into a thread where a guy said this:
If you have a good quality multi-meter you can purchase the SQ-120 quantum
sensor from Apogee instruments
The sensor which costs $139.00, measures Milli-volts which you just multiply the
reading on your Multi-meter by 5 to give you a very accurate par reading without
having to spend hundreds more on the actual Quantum meter.
Has anyone done this?
I assume the sensor has a Positive, Negative and Ground. Woud you just use alligator clamps to attach to the multimeter probes? or I guess you could solder your own jacks.
