[TRNSYS-users] Help (solar radiations detecting controller)

[David BRADLEY via TRNSYS-users]

Asad,

  You can write an equation that compares the value of the total solar 
radiation incident on the plane of the collector with your on/off value. 
For example:

collOn = GT(Isolar,0)

the variable collOn will have a value of 1 if the value of Isolar is 
greater than zero.

kind regards,

  David
