Obi Software, named after the traditional Japanese belt symbolizing connection and support, is an exclusive tool designed to optimize the fast-response performance of EKO Instruments’ MS-80SH Plus+ and MS-90 Plus+. This intuitive Windows-based application allows users to visualize detection signals, configure communication parameters, and troubleshoot issues with ease, ensuring precise solar measurement and reliable data collection.
TSB Mode vs. RSB Mode
Obi Software supports both TSB (Traditional Sun-Tracking Band) and RSB (Rotating Shadow Band) modes, each tailored to different measurement needs:
- TSB Mode: Utilizes a band tracking algorithm to follow the sun’s path with the band throughout the day. Ideal for precise, continuous measurement of the diffuse horizontal solar irradiance (DHI).
- RSB Mode: Employs a rotating shadow band to intermittently shade and unshade the sensor, allowing differentiation between global and diffuse horizontal solar radiation.
Key Features:
- Auto-detection of the MS-80SH Plus+ and MS-90 Plus+ with the control unit C-Box
- Real-time visualization of solar measurements, like GHI, DNI, and DHI,
- Perform communication customization (baud rate, parity, sensor addresses)
- Manage data storage, activate continuous logging
- Perform firmware updates
- Access specialized modes like installation guidance, demo mode, and manual GPS operation.
- Configuring a second pyranometer to extend the measurement setup
