SET UP YOUR WEATHER STATION HARDWARE
Before installing the Heavy Weather Pro software on your computer, you should complete the setup of your La Crosse Technology® wireless weather station. If you have not already setup your weather station, please take the time to do so before continuing with the installation of the Heavy Weather Pro software application.
For detailed instructions regarding the setup and usage of your La Crosse Technology® weather station hardware, please refer to the Quick Setup Manual provided with the weather station, or the weather station Operations Manual which can be found online at www.lacrossetechnology.com/2812.
If the weather station and all sensors are working properly, the weather station should be displaying values in all of the various data fields, as shown.
If your weather station is showing values like these, it is receiving data from the sensors and is ready to be connected to the Heavy Weather Pro software and your PC.
DOWNLOAD THE SOFTWARE
If you have not already done so, or do not have the latest version of the Heavy Weather Pro software application, you may download it for free.
To download the software, go to www.lacrossetechnology.com/2812.
Save the installation file to your computer (remember to make a note regarding where you save it – you’ll need this later).
Note: I f you do not have internet access where you are installing the software, you will need to download the software from another location and save it to CD or disk, or contact Technical Support.
INSTALLATION
Ok ‐ let’s take a second and double check that we’re ready to install our Heavy Weather software. At this point, we should have:
∙The weather station itself set up and receiving data from the internal and external sensors.
∙Verified that the computer meets the minimum system requirements.
∙Downloaded or otherwise acquired the latest Heavy Weather Pro software application.
