    The two sensor models perform exactly the same.  We’ve used a couple in the field with existing loggers when replacing some old broken Cyclops 7f sensors.  All we did was swap the sensors and redo the calibration and edit the appropriate 2 lines in the code for the voltage measured in the standard and the blank (nanopure water).  The C-FLUOR sensors do come with a calibration voltage on a datasheet in the package, but we prefer to do our own, plus we recalibrate them in the field periodically once deployed.  We use a rhodamine standard we purchased from Turner.   So you can just use the existing ModularSensors Turner Cyclops library.   Keep in mind that the sensors output a 0-5v analog signal, so you’ll need to use a resistor-divider to read them properly with a Mayfly logger.  Our new multipurpose screw terminal board has that option if you add your own resistors and change the solder jumpers on the back of the board.
