Scalar Set Functions:

- 2 - Linear in SZA along the LOS
- horizonsize(double)
- The size of the horizon on incoming diffuse points in degrees. [default 20]
- numthreads(int)
- The number of threads to use in the calculation. 0 indicates to use all available threads. [default 0]
- integrationtechnique(int)
The integration technique to use for optical depth and source function integrations. [default 1]

- 1 - Adaptive technique
- solarraytracingshells(double)

- Number of diffuse planes to create, planes are created by rotating the LOS plane around the LOS direction. Must be an odd number [default 1]
- diffusemaxangleoffplane(double)
- The maximum angle the LOS plane is rotated to create more diffuse planes in degrees. e.g. if the angle is 5, and numdiffuseplanes is 11, then diffuse profiles will be placed at [-5,-4,...,5] with 0 being the LOS plane. [default 5]

- [0-2] - Unit normal vector of the plane
- [3-5] - The x-axis in the plane ( the y axis is taken as y = x cross normal)
- opticalanglegrid(double[n])
- The angles to use in plane in degrees when opticaltabletype is 2. [default 625 linearly spaced from the start of the LOS to end]
- threedopticaltableparam(double[3])
