Abstract
A measuring device has a sensor for registering at least one parameter selected from the group consisting of at least one ingredient, at least one property, and both, of a material being investigated by the sensor, the sensor including at least one illumination source which directs at least one light beam toward the material to be investigated, at least one reference object for calibrating the measuring device, and an illumination source configured so that a portion of a light beam from the illumination source is redirected toward the reference object.
Claims11
A measuring device, comprising a sensor for registering at least one parameter selected from the group consisting of at least one ingredient, at least one property, and both, of a material being investigated by said sensor, said sensor including at least one illumination source which directs at least one light beam toward the material to be investigated;
- at least one reference object for calibrating the measuring device;
- and an illumination source configured so that a portion of the light beam from said illumination source is redirected toward said reference object, wherein said measuring device is configured so that said sensor registers at least one parameter of the material which is a flowing stream of an agricultural product.
