MAESTRO User’s Manual Revision 8.1 31
For photo detectors, you have the following measure modes:

Power in Watts (default);

Moving Average in Watts;

Power in dBm (dBm = Log [power in Watts/0.001W]).
For Pyroelectrics

Energy in Joules (default);

Average Power in Watts.

Energy Dose in Joules(Not available on this version, check our website for new versions);

Moving Average in Joules (Not available on this version, check our website for new versions).
When selecting the Moving Average option for thermopiles or photo detectors, or the Average Power
option for the pyroelectrics, a popup window will appear to select the averaging period. This will
automatically turn on the statistics in continuous mode. Please do not turn off the statistics nor change to
non-continuous mode to continue using the Moving Average, or the Average Power options. Also note
that if an acquisition is done while the MAESTRO is in one of these modes, the saved data will also be in
the same format.
The Moving Average is available for those head types:

Thermopile

Photodiode

Pyroelectrics head that work in average power (radiometer)
The Average Power is available for those head types:

Pyroelectrics

Photodiode configured in Energy mode.
Uncheck Anticipation to deactivate the power meter acceleration software that provides accelerated
response. By using advanced algorithms and known properties of the detector, this software allows the
MAESTRO to provide a very accurate power measurement a few seconds faster than the natural
response of a thermopile power detector. It accelerates the natural response by a factor of 5 to 10.
Turning off the anticipation will result in a slower response but will reduce the noise level and provide a
more stable measured value in a noisy environment.
Version 7 energy heads have been calibrated with and without the attenuator at a chosen wavelength.
When enabling the attenuator, only the wavelength at which it has been calibrated will be available in the
wavelength menu. Similarly photodiodes have been calibrated with and without the attenuator at
chosen wavelengths. When enabling the attenuator and touching the OK button , the MAESTRO
