©2020 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.The PME miniDOT logger is a submersible sensor designed to measure water temperature and dissolved oxygen concentration. Dissolved oxygen is measured by an optode that measures lifetime-based luminescence quenching of a thin membrane. The sensing foil contains a coating with a variable fluorescence depending on the oxygen concentration of the surrounding water. The miniDOT reports in milligrams per liter (mg/L) and logs all measurements to an internal SD card. Also featured is a temperature sensor and batteries. Data can be offloaded to a computer via USB cable. The logger has an accuracy of +/- 5 percent (+/- 0.3 mg/L) for oxygen, and +/- 0.1 degrees Celsius for temperature. Temperature range is 0 to 35 degrees Celsius, oxygen range is 0 to 150 percent saturation. Depth-rated to 300 meters.
