WORKING WITH HISTORY DATA AND FILES

By default, the

history file

is named history.dat and is located in the

~\My

Documents\HeavyWeather\History\

directory. This directory is where the Heavy Weather Pro application looks for

history files to display in the

History tab

of the

File Management

window.

If you choose to save your history file to another location, it is recommended that you either

set the History

directory

to that location, or copy your history file(s) to the default directory so that they can be used when

working with templates and graphs.

VIEWING HISTORY DATA RECORDS

We can view history records from the current history data file, or from previously saved history data files.

If you are viewing the Current Weather window, you can simply click the Data link in the

lower left corner to see the history data records stored in the current history file.

To view the data records stored in a previously saved

history file

, you must

first select and open a template file.

With a template file open in the main window, select the Data link in the lower left corner.

Note: If you have not selected a template in the main window, the Data window will only display history
records from the current history file.

In the File Management window, select the

History tab

. Select a history file. To

display the data records in the selected history file, double click the filename or

click the checkmark at the top of the History tab.

The Data window will display the data records for the selected history

file.
