Distance between SCA's in row was created by jad

Hello
In the emperical model for parabolic trough, the solar field "help" states that the "Distance between SCA's in row" is the end to end distance.
How to precise this value for different collectors?
Thank you

Thank you for your reply
What I mean is what is the value to choose for the following input "Distance between SCA's in row" in the solar field module??
and how to choose this value?
Thank you

For the Empirical Trough Model, on the Solar Field page, the "distance between SCAs in rows" is the distance from the end of one SCA and its neighbor's in a single row:

Thank you,
This is what I mean.
But is there any value for this distance to take it in the simulation?

You can use the default value of 1 meter for the distance between SCAS in row if you do not have data to support using a different value.
