Dustin;

Today it says Amp Hours:  429,496,605.5

Classic 150V (rev 4)
Serial #  CL04253
Firmware:
Classic Rev: 1070
Network Rev: 1024

Hmmm...  That is a pretty new Classic.  I'm pretty sure that it (rev 1070) is good to go on the Amp-Hours so
should not have large A-hour values.   You should be able to see daily amp-hours on the MNGP (LCD)
screen.  Just press the STATUS button and it will roll over to a status screen where kW-hours changes
to amp-hours, and of course, other status screens.

So, let's see if it is the Classic itself or the  Local App status panel reading the wrong register maybe.

Here are the 4 screens presented by pressing the status button on my classic in order 1 thru 4:

Yes that explains it. The Amp Hour software is not in the production units. There would be a screen (The second one) that would be identical to the first except KWH would be AH. To get AH going a firmware update will be in order. I would give it a few days as I plan to put up some new Beta firmware first of the week that has a lot of stuff in it (Even some network reliability stuff)

So the Daily Amp Hours on the PC Application are just free running  from -32,448 to 32,646 endlessly since there is no input from the Classic then whatever that value happens to land at end of day is written to the Lifetime Values?  That is how it appears to me.

I'm showing  6,900Ah for one today's production (not bad for 10:00AM)  My lifetime values for the last 28 days are high enough to charge a 1000 strong fleet of submarines  at 429,495,098.7AH :o

I'm running 1070 on the classic and monitoring with 03.10 remote software.





Seriously though It isn't a big Issue for now I just use KWH as a guide as they look to be correct  for both daily and total:)

Look forward to the update though.

Since the Classic did not have a properly working Amp-Hour function early on, (it does now),
some older Classics may show very large life-time amp-hour values.

I think we better make a way to reset that !  OK, coming up soon then !

bob

So, do I understand that to mean that in a future Classic firmware update there will be a fix for older Classics (ca. CL00330) so that the AH functionality of the local software is enabled accurately? Thanks, boB.

Beware :

Be precise when you speak about the 1070 version, because this name is used with the Production version AND the Beta version !!!

As I understand from the announcements made on this forum, for the last two months, the Amps information is only OK with the 1070 Beta version.

Associated with this 1070 Beta Version, came an OCP problem.
As of my known, this problem isn't corrected. 
Weeks are going, without new Beta Release.

We have officially released Rev 1166 for Beta. We will be moving it to production very soon. Maybe Friday?

Yann,
You just have to do a VMM to solve OCP problem with rev 1070 and it will work fine.
Turn the battery and solar power to the Classic off. Next, turn the battery power back on while holding the Left and Right arrows. Hold the arrows until the first "Solar, Wind or Hydro" screen pops up. Follow the on screen prompts and continue setup. Note: This will reset all settings to factory defaults. You will need to reset any custom settings such as Aux 1 and 2. You may want to write these settings down for reference prior to resetting the Classic.

Hi Ryan,

On the forum, at the end of last week, i saw your post on the forum, about a Beta Release, but all the associated documents were relating to the Follow-me feature, and i was afraid that this version was dedicated to guys having networked Classics.

On the Midnite website, as the top menus are made with Flash, they are not visible with Safari on the IPad !!

So, when I will go back on my PC, It Will be OK.

Thanks!!



Hi Erik,

A lot of Thanks for the VMM explanation.
After forum reading, for me, it was Vulcan Meld Mind (An American Joke ??) without more explanation.

So, I will install this new Beta, at night.

Have a good day.

I powered it off and back on and now it says 33.6AH

Any idea when the Lifetime Amp hours divide by 10 issue will be fixed?

now mine says 0.......   Oh yea, I did just install the new one.  :D

LocalApp questions :

1°) Where are stored the LocalApp Logs Data on the hard Drive ?
Is it possible to configure this location on a specific disk ?


2°) Is it possible to concatenate Logs datas from differents Computers ?


3°) When the LocalApp is started and no Classic is selected, is the LocalApp already logging all the Classic's viewed ?
The idea is to automatically wake-up a computer from sleep mode on the first hours of the morning to start logging without being present.


4°) Is it possible to connect a Raspberry PI on the USB port and a PC via Ethernet and have the two simultaneously requesting Modbus datas ?


That's all for today   :P
