Radiance-daysim Digest, Vol 26, Issue 3

Thanks again. I have changed the output_units from 2 to 1 in my file*.hea
and saved it. But Daysim still considering illuminance sensors. How could I
reload my file*.hea in order to Daysim can consider irradiance sensors?
Besides, I have changed the sensor_file_unit from 0 to 2, but Daysim still
considering illuminance sensors.

Many thanks

Hi Abigail,

-for the solar transmissivity you can use the same equation.

-the pts-file does not contain the information about the sensor type. If
you want to change that manually, you have to do that in the header
file. Syntax please see here:
http://daysim.ning.com/page/keyword-output-units . If you have hundreds
of points, I recommend to write a script generating for you this entry
in the header-file.

-I haven't used the new version of DIVA yet, so maybe someone else can
answer this question more detailed. I know you can go two approaches,
either you define a node in W/m*m and run an annual simulation with
daysim OR you run an irradiation map with /gencumulativesky /,but I'm
not sure where to invoke the latter one in the new version.

good luck!
