Name

Enter the desired station name in this text box. Note that when you first
create a station, the software uses the first eight characters of the station
name as the name of the directory into which it saves this station’s data-
base and configuration files and the first three characters as the file exten-
sion for that station’s database files. If you change the station name, the
software will prompt you to change the name of the station directory and
database file extension.

Model

Select the weather station model from the drop-down list box.

Rain Collector

Select the increment in which the rain collector you use with the station
measures rainfall. If you do not have a rain collector, choose None.

Outside Humidity

If you have the optional External Temperature/Humidity Sensor, select
this check box.
