Notices, warnings, errors from SDK

Dear Paul,


I have a question concerning a certain function in the SDK. After I ran a simulation I go through all notices, warnings and error messages to verify validity of the result. I use the log-function for this purpose as proposed in the manual:

ssc_module.Log(idx, msg, type, time)

However, it seems like the function only returns warnings and errors. I ran SAM with a faulty meteo file on purpose. The run throws notices in the GUI version of SAM ("SAM calculated negative diffuse horizontal irradiance [...]"). However, no notices are returned when running the SAM sim core via the SDK and requesting the notices with the log-function. Warnings are thrown.

Any ideas if I am doing anything wrong? Is it possible to specify which kinds of messages are thrown?


Best regards,
Timo

Dear Paul,

yes, that's the module I am running. Other messages which are unique to the module (e.g. "The product of number of modules along side and bottom for subarray...", "Inverter oversized: The maximum inverter output...", "Inverter undersized: The array output exceeded the inverter rating") are correctly returned by the log-function.
Any ideas?

Best regards,
Timo

Dear Paul,

thanks for the clarification, that was indeed the reason for the difference in behavior! In general I find this plausibility check very helpful, because a custom meteo file can easily be accidentally shifted by an hour or so. I have programmed by own routine that always performs this check now, but maybe for other users, always running this plausibility check could be helpful.

Best regards,
Timo
