A NEW LOGARITHMIC PHOTOMETER - TEST RESULTS

Abstract

AS A PRELIMINARY STEP IN SETTING IN THE CORRECTION CURVE, A RECORDING WAS MADE OVER THE ENTIRE FLUX RANGE OF THE PHOTOMETER. This curve shows that the photometer has a basic response in excess of six-log cycles. The photometer responds to any portion of this range. By drawing in a straight line over the desired range, the correction voltages are obtained from the difference between the straight line and the actual curve. (Author)
