2. Enter the following information:
▲ Download Times
Select the hours at which the software should automatically download
information from this station by clicking on the desired hour in the list.
You may select as many download times as you want; the software will
download data from your station at each of the specified times. To clear all
of the selections, choose Clear.
▲ Offset Time
If you want the software to download this station a specific number of
minutes after the selected hour(s), enter the number of minutes here. For
example, In the illustration above, the software would automatically
download at 12:02 am and 12:02 pm. The offset time is especially useful is
you have multiple stations and want to stagger download times during a
single hour.
Note: We recommend offsetting the download by at least a few minutes to avoid conflicts.
The WeatherLink cannot create a new record while a download is in progress. If a
record on the hour is delayed and the offset time is “0”, ET will be calculated incor-
rectly.
3. After setting the download time(s), choose OK.
The software saves the automatic download time settings.
