IMPORTANT: Before starting with a new season of measurements, make sure
that the configuration values of the device are properly set up and that they match
the circuit under test.
IMPORTANT: It is mandatory to introduce the values on all the empty gaps,
even if they are zeros.
6.
Adjust date and time, and synchronize with the E-Sens. Select Settings -> Other
->Adjust Date/Time (Section 5.5.11A)
7.
Set up the characteristic module under test (VOC, ISC, VM, IM,
α,
β
y NS).
Settings->

8.
Set up the generator settings (number of modules on series and parallel). Settings
-> Generator settings (Section 5.5.5).
9.
Verify the radiance sensor calibration (reference cell) Settings -> Sensor settings
(Section 5.5.6.A).
10.
Select E-Temp or PT1000 depending on the temperature sensor you want to
use. You can do this on the main screen or inside the sensor settings menu. (Section
5.5.6.B).

Conections set up
Reference cell
The
radiance
sensor
is
a
calibrated
solar
cell
made
out
of
silicon,
that
need
to
be
placed on the same plane as the solar module. It is connected with the E-Sens with
some banana plugs to measure ISC on the 2V connector located on the lower right
part of the device. Additionally, you may connect the PT-1000 of the reference cell
to correct radiance using the temperature measurement of the calibrated cell. These
banana plugs are connected on the lower left side of the device.
