DAVIS WeatherLink Emergency Add. - Manual (Page 4)

Station Setup
Choose a station ID number for your station and enter it into the Station ID
# dialog box. The default is 1. The allowable range is 0 to 999. Although a
station ID number is included in each data transmission, ALOHA
®
does not
use this value. It is recommended that you use a different value for each
station if you are using more than one Vantage Pro™ station for emergency
operations.
Time Out Period
Normally, the streaming data logger will stream an ASCII character string
every 30 seconds to the computer for use with the ALOHA
®
software
program. However, since the streaming data logger shares its serial port
for Vantage Pro™, WeatherLink
®
and ALOHA
®
communications, it ceases
streaming whenever PC software attempts to communicate to the logger.
After communications from the PC has stopped for the time-out-period, the
Aloha streaming will resume. The default setting is 5 seconds. You may
adjust this value if you wish streaming to resume sooner or later after
communicating to the logger using WeatherLink
®
or the Streaming Data
Utility.
Note: Once communications to WeatherLink are initiated and successful,
the streaming data logger will be unable to communicate with the
Streaming Data Utility until the Time Out Period expires. If you need to
communicate to the logger with both the Streaming Data Utility and
WeatherLink
®
, you should communicate using the Streaming Data Utility
first.
Default
Press this button to restore the data entries to their default values. You
must still hit OK to save the settings in the data logger.
