== What is this "Solar Max" value which Cumulus is displaying? ==
== What is this "Solar Max" value which Cumulus is displaying? ==
It's the current theoretical maximum solar radiation value at the current date and time at your location. It is calculated using the Ryan-Stolzenbach formula, and uses the 'transmission factor' configurable in the station settings to allow for the effect of transmission through the atmosphere. The figure is not particularly useful in itself; it is used if you have a solar sensor, to compare with the current solar radiation reading, in an attempt to determine whether the sun is currently shining or not.

== My Fine Offset console says the memory is nearly full - how do I clear it? ==
You don't need to, and it's much safer if you don't; clearing the memory could lead to a loss of data. The console will automatically start re-using the oldest memory locations.
