Where/How Does LOG4OM 2 Get It's Solar Data

Post by K7KB »

I'm just curious when/how V2 gets it's solar data? The K/A index shown in the upper right of the display hasn't been right for several hours, even when forcing a "Reload Solar Data" from the maintenance menu. Does it go out to a particular website like VOACAP to retrieve that information? And if so, how often is it automatically refreshed?

Thanks!

The solar data is received from NOAA ...

You can see how often your installation reaches out for various updates by looking at:

Settings / Program Configuration / Program Scheduler

System processes are each listed there and have there own time frames for updates.

Nolan: Well the A & K index reported in the upper left hand corner has been reporting 0 for both over several days, and I know that's incorrect. Also, right now Log4OM is reporting 162 for the SFI but NOAA and Solarham says it's 169. I've done manual reloads and it doesn't make a difference.
