SHOWCASE
MATLAB is a high-level language
and interactive environment for
numerical computation, visualization,
and programming. With MATLAB,
users can acquire and analyze data,
develop algorithms, and create
models and applications. The
language, tools, and built-in math
functions offer the availability to
explore multiple approaches and
reach a solution faster than with
spreadsheets or traditional
programming languages, such as
C/C++ or Java™.
The support package is free for
users that already have the MATLAB
R2013a. The Analog Discovery itself
is $199.

NEW GENERATION
PHOTOCELL
CONTROL
The J2 LED Lighting, LLC ambient light switch (ALS) is a new
generation photocell type dusk to
dawn control specifically for
controlling low voltage ( 12-24 volt)
DC LED lights. The detector element
is highly responsive to the near
infrared (NIR) sunlight spectrum and
has a reduced response to white LED
light sources.
A wide angle 120 degree lens
reduces false triggering with
fluctuations in cloud cover and
overcast conditions. The detector
effectively senses energy of ambient
sunlight with a less sensitive
detection of light in the photopic
(visible light) spectrum between
380 nm and 780 nm.
The lens and sensor element
predominantly detect ambient
sunlight scatter in the NIR spectrum
of 800 nm to 1,000 nm. A
combination of visible light
attenuation by the lens and peak
sensitivity of the detector element in
