Introducing Skyview 2.0

Skyview 2.0 graphing energy data with ZigBee Wireless PC Interface

Skyview 2.0 is packed features and easier to use

Energy

Energy production history: graphing and data export

Skyview 2.0 lets you download, graph and export your system's energy production history. Any ZigBee-equipped Skystream with inverter firmware 2.02 stores daily energy production to an onboard memory chip and has capacity for several years’ worth of data.

Offset

Carbon footprint information

See how energy from Skystream has offset emissions when compared with coal power. Displays total pounds or kilograms of CO2 offset since installed.

Signal

Radio signal strength information

To help you find the best location to place your Wireless PC Interface, Skyview 2.0 now provides an indicator that provides instant feedback on radio signal strength.

Power

Instant performance display

Skyview 2.0 maintains this popular feature from Skyview 1.x. Instantly watch dials for power and RPM move in response to changing wind conditions.

Manual

Easy to use manual

We expanded the Skyview manual, which now provides more detailed information about the program’s installation and use. Download manual

Other features include:

Cumulative performance table. Skyview 2.0 displays energy production totals for any selected date range, today's production, daily averages, and total energy produced since installed.

Turbine nickname capability. For easy identification or personalization, you can now enter a nickname for each Skystream. The nickname displays on the overview screen where energy performance is displayed.

Improved multiple turbine handling. If you have more than one Skystream, this feature lets you switch from turbine-to-turbine while on any screen within the Skyview 2.0 program.

One-button inverter clock setting. You can now synchronize your Skystream inverter’s internal clock with your PC time with a single button click. This speeds the Skystream setup process and permits the production data to be recorded on the correct dates.

  • PC computers that have an available USB port.
  • Windows XP or Vista 32-bit operating systems (Vista 64-bit and Macintosh computers are not supported at this time).
