Sunrise/Sunset
Misc microblock
|
The Sunrise/Sunset microblock calculates the time the sun will rise and set based on location and time zone information entered in the microblock's dialog box or the Properties page.
The sunrise and sunset outputs produce today's sunrise and sunset times. The daylight output turns on when the current time falls between sunrise and sunset and turns off when the current time is before sunrise or after sunset.

RefName

Use the default reference name unless you want a more descriptive name for this microblock for graphics, source tree rules, or network links. All reference names in a control program must be unique.

Latitude/Longitude
|
The Latitude and Longitude settings must be entered accurately to ensure that the correct sunrise and sunset times are calculated. Consult an atlas or your local weather station to determine this information for your area. When entering the longitude for a location in the Western Hemisphere (North or South America), enter the longitude as a negative number.
