How does the DLI virtual sensor work?
Day Light integral virtual sensor is available for configuration only in case when an organization has at least one sensor with PPFD or PPFD_μmol/m²s metric. The DLI virtual sensor creates one measurement per 24 hours at a specified time. Output value shall be calculated only in cases when at least 90% of input values are available. This will represent the amount of Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) received each day as a function of light intensity and duration. DLI in Aranet Cloud is calculated according to the formula:
This option can be selected only by having a PAR sensor, and it will be located as the last option when clicking on "New Virtual Sensor". To create a virtual DLI sensor, navigate to the SENSORS menu -> VIRTUAL SENSORS tab and press the NEW VIRTUAL SENSOR button:
Select Day Light Integral sensor:
Give the Sensor a name, select the source, define the Output time and press CREATE button:
The sensor creation is finished after that:
