Remarks

This structure is used to hold the consistent location, date and sun parameters. It can be used either to retrieve the current parameter set (see the ACAPI_GeoLocation_GetPlaceSets function); or to calculate the sun angles in a given place at a given time (see the ACAPI_GeoLocation_CalcSunOnPlace function); or to set/change and the current parameter set (see ACAPI_GeoLocation_ChangePlaceSets function).
