Section 5. Software Installation and Settings
If not already started, start the LoggerNet server by double clicking the blue icon. Then start the Control Panel. It should automatically connect to the server. Then select the appropriate logger and click on the Connection bar. The computer should initiate and connect with the station. Then pull down the Options menu, go to Advanced, and then select Update Table Definitions. This procedure may take a minute as the weather station updates LoggerNet. Once it is complete, you may disconnect and close the Control Panel.
Now open the RDE Manager usually through the Start, Programs, Proline, Proline Utilities, RDE Manager. All the RDE sources you purchased and installed should appear. Three of them are related to the Weather Source. Select the Weather Extremes, Weather Parameters, and Weather Basics sources. Then click on the Extra Settings button beside one of the sources. You only need to do this for one of these three sources because the extra settings is tied to all three. If you change the extra settings in one, it will change them in all three.
