Connecting the Weather Station to a PC

To collect and manipulate data from your weather station you may connect the main unit to the computer via USB cable. Proceed in the following order:

•Make sure all sensors have batteries installed and the main unit is plugged in to the wall power outlet through the AC/DC adapter provided

•Insert the CD-ROM into available drive and install the software following instructions of the installation wizard.

•Connect the main unit to the computer USB port using the USB cable provided.

•Open installed software package: double-click the icon on the computer desktop

You may customize software screen by selecting the weather parameters to be displayed, units for these weather parameters, location and other user-definable elements.

When determining data transfer interval from the main unit to your computer consider the time duration for each data point. For example if you select 5 minutes, each point on the graph will be placed every 5 minutes. If you will select 3 hours, then the graph trend will take at least 24 hours to show 8 data points.

The software works when main display unit is connected to the PC. If you set data transfer interval to 1 hour, you will need to connect your main unit display to the PC at least once a week, otherwise your will loose some data.
