This section describes the status flags used in output files and their influence on irradiance calculation.
In general the following applies to status flags:
• a status flag value of 0 indicates
no error or successful
• higher numbers indicate increasing severity
• a non-zero status flag does not always mean that calculations are stopped. For example, the radiometer temperature status flag
is a warning and does not influence the calculation of irradiances.
• status flags that indicate no processing was done, such as
not calculated, occur in case prerequisites were not successful. For
example, when the sun is below the horizon, it does not make sense to calculate the correction factor and therefore determine
the ozone value. In this case the
chi flag and ozone flag will be set to not calculated.
20.1 Program Status Flag
The program status flag indicates general program status.
20.2 Radiometer Offset Status Flag
The offset status flag indicates the status of the radiometer offset voltage calculation.
20.3 Radiometer Certificate Status Flag
The radiometer certificate status flag indicates the status of the digital instrument calibration certificate the program used
for calculations.
