Adding Solar Radiation Graphs
Posted: Tue 12 Jul 2011 5:00 pm
I'm trying to find a way to add daily/monthly graphs of solar radiation. I can see the parameter is recorded in the <Month><Year>log.txt file so I could possibly extract it and generate the graphs but it's a lot of work and I'd like to check I'm not missing some easier way. Am I?
Also looking at my Jul11log.txt file (and today is Jul12) I see an extra parameter, not listed in your Data Log Files Description, after the 3.5 solar hours number, and added to the end of each entry. But it disappears after the 16:00 entry. The following four entries show the change point. I'd like to understand what's happening here as I may end up using this log file.
Many thanks,
