TheoreticalSolarMax Plot

Post by watsonm »

I have now commisioned my Solar Pod and while I was doing this I had the following in the Charts.def

Plot TheoreticalSolarMax As Area Colour gold zIndex 10 Opacity 0.2

It successfully plotted the theoretical plot alomg with my inconsistent data !!

I am now happy with my hardware and data so I cleared the SolarRad and UV columns of CumulusMX.db.
After restart and flushing all the cache etc I get my SolarRad displayed but the Theoretical graph is no longer drawn.
Is this possibly because I do not have a days worth of solar data or have I possibly messed something up?

Thanks for any pointers.
Regards Mike

Hi Mike,

There is an error in the execution of the code indicating that it cannot find the data for the UV after reading the solar data file.
My guess is that you switched off the UV index in the solar data (Station Settings=>Graphs=>Data Series Visibility=>Solar Data).
If you tick that and wait until the next datafile is sent, you will probably start seeing the UV and the CurrentSolarMax.

Note that the UV in the code is just before the CurrentSolarMax and therefore it breaks off.
If you remove the UV from the chart and recompile you will get CurrentSolarMax as well.
