Ł Define a new horizon by drawing with the mouse or by entering table values or by importing a
complete horizon:
1. Start by clicking on the horizon line with the left mouse button. The current position of the cursor can
be seen in the upper bar, given as azimuth : height.
A dashed line is drawn between the starting point and the current position.
2. Click the next point using the left mouse button, thus confirming the dashed line.
The horizon line can only go from left to right. As a result, no dashed line can be seen if you move the
cursor left of the (current) end point.
3. Stop drawing by clicking the right mouse button.
4. Redrawing lines can only be done after completing the current sketch point and from an already
defined point. The following text is displayed in the upper bar:
To amend the horizon, click with the left mouse
button exactly on the horizon line.
It can be difficult to click on the existing horizon line where this is vertical. Rather enter a fitting
individual object. This is done on the List of Objects page. The Shading from Individual Objects
dialog opens.
1. Or enter the vertices of the horizon in the table directly. The start and end point are already entered,
as are any generated with the mouse.
2. Define a point via New Point first.
3. Add a point to the table using Add new Point. On being entered, the point appears in the sketch.
4. You can remove the selected point (blue background) by clicking Delete Point.
1. Or import horizon lines created with the horizON and calculation software by clicking the
button .
2. You can delete the horizon at any time by clicking the New button.
To print out the shade diagram, you must copy the activated dialog to the clipboard with the key
combination ALT+PRINT and paste it into a word processing program such as Microsoft Word via the
menu Edit > Paste. As an example, you will then see image 10.4.3, can scale and print it out.
7.3.3 Installation
System Definition > Collector Array > Installation
The position of the collector array is defined on the Installation page.
Enter the orientation, which describes the position of the collector area. It is independent from the
location, therefore it is the same for the northern and southern hemisphere.
The azimuth angle is calculated and displayed. It describes the deviation of the standard angle of the
collector surface area from the south (northern hemisphere) or from the north (southern hemisphere),
respectively.
