Cumulus Support

Since this thread is getting somewhat very very long/large, I have asked Mark to start another thread where more technical information about the SteelSeries Gauges, such as customisation of the gauges or the page that contains the gauges, could be discussed, passed along, shared.

Re: Solar Radiation and the Davis Solar Radiation Sensor (for the Vantage Pro2 weather stations) - Mark, as a possible reference, I attached the technical documentation for the solar radiation sensor. I do not know why Davis Instruments chose such a high value for the maximum level of radiation (the maximum being 1800 W/m²) (they might have been planning for future sales to the residents of Venus ) - I do not think calibration adjustments would make much of a difference between 1400 W/m² and 1800 W/m² as the weather console would still display the four digits ... or am I missing something about your interrogation (remember, I am having one of those 'blond' days )

var g_showSolarMax          = 1400; //Maximum solar radiation value (default 1400 W/m²)
