Hello! I will try your SC-View on my SS-MPPT controller in a few days when I visit my cabin and wonder if you have an updated version available? Thanks! OS |

Solar Guppy, I brought an issue up with Morningstar that your SC-view software also has. That is the fact that your software ticks around 1Kwh for each 100Wh. They sent me a new version of MSview that fixed it, and tell me in the email that it was a scaling error that yours and their software was coded wrong. I just knew that my 90W of Harbor Freight solar panels wasn't ticking over a KWh per day. Especially when my old E-meter was telling me that I generated 100Wh that day. Thought you might want to know. SC-view is a nifty little program and I use it daily to log data. Thanks. If you need any other questions answered, my email is pvale@pvale.com. Perry |

Man, that is a VERY pretty interface ! I really like the setup screens etc. The main screen is nice too, but could you make it so it can re-size to be viewed from a bit further away from the screen ?? I also see just a hint of Borland tools in there... Nice stuff ! boB |

Hi SG, Are the numbers in the screen dump of SC-View above to scale? The reason I ask is that the Volt*Amp in (146 VA) in the picture above is lower than Volt*Amp out (156 VA). Regards, OS |

Amps in is SW created so has little meaning ... could be a bug or possible a captured in dynamic conditions |
