Changing dates in GHL makes charts go away - scientific experiment

Sallstrom · Mar 10, 2020

Hi!

Another strange question perhaps

We setting up a scientific experiment trying to induce spawning for tropical stony corals. We have a location from the real world and have added all data from that location into the profilux. Then we wanted to start the experiment at a special day of the year, to fit our experiment. For us that was June 6th 2020. So we changed the date in the Profilux computer to that date. This experiment tanks is 3 month and 3 hours ahead of or time in Sweden.
The seasons for lights and the moon cycle seems to work great and they started directly on June 6st 2020.

But when trying to look at the charts in myGHL the charts are stuck on march 6th, the day when change the date on the Profilux.
Is there an easy way around this?

Thanks in advance!

I got great help from the GHL support on their support forum (on their homepage).
Here's the solution, for everyone else how likes to run their tank in a different time and date than the real world and still wants to see charts for all the meassurements done by the Profilux decive

-go to the Logbook in myGHL
-add a value manually
-go to charts and put in "from" and "to" dates for your virtual time (the new virtual time and date you have set your GHL on)
-choose sensor to compare your value with

Then your can see all meassurments in your virtaul time.

Thanks to the GHL support for fast help!
