Selecting Weather Variables

 

 

Select a weather variable to display it’s data on the screen if it isn’t already

mand key secondary functions are enabled during this time. The keys return to nor-

 

mal operation after the icon disappears.

 

 

 

 

Press a variable and GRAPH to graph the variable in the Current Weather Mode screen. The console places a graph icon on the screen next to the selected variable or value you want to view to indicate the currently selected variable.

Selecting Units of Measure

Most weather variables may be displayed in at least two different measure- ment units, including US and Metric systems, although some variables fea- ture more possibilities. Barometric pressure, for example, may be displayed in millibars, millimeters, inches, or hectoPascals. Note that you can set each variable’s units independently, and at any time, as you like.
