%currentwdet% tag

Hi,

Maybe a stupid question, but the %currentwdet% tag stands for the current evapotranspiration rate calculated by WD every minute. This value is always higher than the actual value. When this is a rate, shouldn’t it be lower than the actual value or am I wrong? How do I have to interpretend that tag?

Thanks!

that is the ET as calculated by WD
its re caculated each minute
where as the VP only updates its ET value every hour, and so it jumps///i.e looks like a stair case
you can tick to have wd’s et value plotted on the vp solar/et graph instead of the et from the vp…
