Hi,
Yes that's a very interesting Aplication Note. It's the first description I've seen to obtain the "real" UVIndex from a Low-cost* sensor, without the very expensive (erythema action spectrum) UV filter used by Davis. * So low-cost that RS won't send less than 5, but perhaps you need that many as it's a SMD package: Dimensions: 2.0 x 1.25 x 1.0 mm.
In particular, I noted the following detail from page 12 and the calibration method: "The correct UV index needs a well-calibrated measurement tool, such as the Davis weather station used to calibrate the VEML6075."
Cheers, Alan.
