"SUN CAL“, Configure brightness threshold value for duration of sun- shine

The weather station WS 550 US finds out the sunshine duration along with the combi-sensor TX 550 US. The threshold value is set at the base station and transferred to the combi-sensor. The latter performs the data evaluation:

Received brightness is higher than the threshold value → Sun is shining Received brightness is lesser than the threshold value → Sun does not
