Labjack Solar setup

Hi Brian
I am trying to setup solar (temperature sensor in Jar) with Labjack. I ticked Labjack yes and using solor reading in setup. In control panel solar setup, bottom right I said sensor #1, for voltage I tried 3 thru 5 and get different solar % ?The raw reading is 3.0mv at room temperature. I changed the sensor temperature at 106.0 f I get 3.442 volts and at 37.8 f I get 2.769 volts, very small change. The solar % changes very little. In the top left box solar data sensor #1. Am I on the right track or do I need to change something else? Thanks Joe

hi
no, wrong track
that is for voltage from the solar sensor
and not temperature sensor in a jar, where you just need to select which extra temperature sensor to use (at the top of the setup page)

Hi Brian
Thank for the help I think I have the right boxs ticked now. I have a question about raw current reading on solor setup page. Should that temperature change with jar sensor from Labjack. It is always 84.2f, if I raise and lower jar sensor temp, no change in raw reading? Have tried different numbers in c for % but I can’t get solar scale to change with temperature sensor. If jar sensor is above OA temp, solar scale should increase as jar sensor increases. Thanks Joe
