To communicate with a computer a null modem adapter or cable must be used.

Modem Installation

A modem may be used with the WRL for remote operations. A modem adapter must be used to properly connect the weather station to a modem. For auto answering, an auto-answering modem with non-volatile memory must be used. The WRL does not send AT control signals, so in order for the modem to properly answer, the modem must be told (programmed with a computer) to answer on whichever ring the user desires. (Modems pre-programmed in non-volatile memory are available from Texas Weather Instruments.)

Computer Interface

The WRL with the proper cable, may be plugged directly into computers equipped with RS- 232 interfaces. Data may be captured using a communication program like hyperterminal or the TWICAL program. The WRL sends data in a serial format at 300 to 19.2 baud rate, 8 data bits, no parity and one stop bit.

Note: The WRL has two separate minimum and maximum memories. Clearing the M command minimum and maximum memory will not affect the C command minimum and maximum memory and vice-versa. The printer/computer memories clear at 12:00 midnight every day and/or when the c key is pressed on the computer console.
