Daily Sunshine Hours Graph Blank?

Post by johnh67 »

I have a WS-3081 unit that has the UV/Light sensor. During the day I am getting readings in Cumulus no problems, however, the daily sunshine hours graph is always blank. There is data showing in the Solar Radiation and UV Index graphs. Is there something I have missed?

The station doesn't have extra sensors and why did you tick 'use b/L'

I'm not sure if this is the cause btw

Sounds likely to me Ron, if that is ticked, it will look for the B/L sensor to provide the sunshine info rather than deriving it from the solar irradiation.
