    What is the response time for the sensor when taking par readings?

    A quick question for you guys, when I try to take PAR readings at different places around my tank it can take 1-2 minutes before the reading changes in fusion. Is this normal?

    I don't have a PMK, but changes to any of your parameters can take a bit and you will see a lag. You would be better off using the classic dash on the apex classic or Apex.Local on the new apex to see a quicker response.

    Thanks Chad, I'll try to use the classic dash and see if it makes any difference.

    I've got my PMK setup to show its value on the Apex display module. It takes 2-3 seconds for the PAR reading to "normalize" when I shift the PAR meter around in my tank. I just checked with the local dashboard on my Apex (2016) and it lags maybe another second or so behind the display module.

    I have tried with the classic dashboard, it was a lot quicker. Obviously I have to try with the display too, thanks guys.
