Interpreting Hazemeter Data


The downloaded space-delimited Hazemeter data can be imported into an Excel spreadsheet. The channel data do not have any value until processed by the computers at NASA. The following list describes the headers for the downloaded Hazemeter data:

Read# - Number of the reading


Chan1 - Maximum value recorded for the 880nm channel

Chan2 - Maximum value recorded for the 650nm channel

Chan3 - Maximum value recorded for the 500nm channel

Chan4 - Maximum value recorded for the 405nm channel


Min1 - Minimum value recorded for the 880nm channel

Min2 - Minimum value recorded for the 650nm channel

Min3 - Minimum value recorded for the 500nm channel

Min4- Minimum value recorded for the 405nm channel


BattmV - Battery voltage in millivolts for this reading

10TC - Current temperature in degrees Celsius multiplied by 10


Rng1 - N/A

N - N/A


Time - Time of reading in the following units: hours/minutes/seconds

Date - Date of reading in the following units: day/month/year
