Abstract | The basic concept of photopic response is a major factor in the design of the smoke generator transmissometer used at visible emission training schools. The term 'photopic' refers to having the daylight spatial response characteristics of the human eye. This study evaluated three transmissometer systems, the reference daylight-photopic system, the tungsten-photopic system, and the tungsten-near-photopic system, to determine whether these three systems had significantly different response characteristics. In addition, a simple procedure was developed for checking the photopic response of transmissometer systems. Results are discussed. |
