The bottom date or time displayed may tend to obscure the data line graphed behind it. The time/date and the graph
data will be mixed together about a second after the date/time is drawn on the bottom of that graph log screen. If,
for some reason, the graphic log screen display shows bogus data or dots that look like they should not be shown,
simply press the Enter button and the screen will be quickly erased and re-drawn without the extra lines or dots.
There may or may not be any valid data past a certain point to the left if the unit is fairly new. The data shown in
unused spots may be zero, or it may be off the screen and not viewable. As time goes on and new data is acquired,
those unused data points will start to appear and be valid. Of course, the Daily history will take many days to fill in,
where the Recent hourly (minutes really) data will fill in after a few hours or maybe a day or two depending on how
long the Classic is on and running for that day. Remember, the Classic does not normally log data while it is in
“Resting” mode.
For additional information on the Classic please refer to the “Classic User’s Manual” on the included DVD or the
online version at www.midnitesolar.com
