PV Rocket
Win32 and 64, EnglishGeneral Usage Instructions
Use the Insert/Find command to Insert the Module block. After the array is laid out, start the Stringing program at box #1, Total Equipment. At the bottom of each box is "Next", dialog box by dialog box, define the system for PV Rocket. The stringing is accomplished manually by dragging your mouse over the blocks. PV Rocket does all the counting for you based on the inputs you gave the dialog boxes.
Then run the Calculations program starting at box #1, Equipment. At the bottom of each box is "Next". Box by box, define the system. There are "Help" buttons throughout that take you to a time indexed help video to show you details about what you are currently looking at.
It's fast and intuitive. There is a trial key downloaded automatically for you that gives you 30 days of free, unlimited access to the full content of the Plugin.
