To further improve the usability and clarity of our solar tracker controller system, GF New Energy Technologies is pleased to announce the release of the latest version of our PC Debugging Software for both TCU (solar tracker controller) and NCU (Network Communication Unit).

This update introduces a highly practical feature that many customers have been requesting:
 

✔ Integrated Parameter Annotation (Tooltip Notes) Function



A More User-Friendly Interface for Engineers and Integrators

In the new software version, users can enable the Annotation Mode directly within the interface. Once activated, every configuration item, parameter field, and adjustable setting will display a clear, concise explanation when the mouse cursor is hovered over it.
 

How It Works

  1. Enable Annotation Mode inside the software.

  2. Move the mouse over any parameter box or setting field.

  3. A tooltip window instantly appears with:

    • Parameter meaning

    • Function description

    • Recommended settings

    • Notes on system behavior

    • Usage precautions

This greatly improves readability, reduces configuration errors, and provides customers with faster and more intuitive operation.


 



Designed to Help Customers Understand the System Better

With projects deployed across different countries, climates, and tracker designs, we understand that customers often face challenges interpreting certain parameters—especially those related to tracking algorithms, motor logic, communication settings, stow strategy, or safety thresholds.

The new annotation function solves this by:

  • Explaining each parameter in plain language

  • Helping new engineers understand the system faster

  • Reducing the need for constant consultation of manuals

  • Ensuring correct configuration during commissioning

  • Improving system reliability through accurate setup
     



A Small Update with Big Practical Impact

Although simple, this feature represents a major improvement in user experience. It will be especially helpful for:

  • EPCs

  • Tracker manufacturers

  • O&M teams

  • On-site commissioning engineers

  • System integrators

  • Remote monitoring operators

With clearer parameter explanations, debugging efficiency increases and the risk of misconfiguration significantly decreases.
 



Available Now

The updated software package is available for all new TCU & NCU shipments and can also be provided to existing customers upon request.
