About the Walkthrough
The software includes a station setup “Walkthrough” that steps you through
the weather station configuration procedures. After adding a new station, the
Walkthrough dialog box automatically displays. By selecting Yes, the walk-
through begins. By selecting No, the Walkthrough is cancelled.
You can set up and configure your station by separately selecting all of the nec-
essary setup options from the Setup menu. A Walkthrough option is included
in the Setup menu that allows you to access the Walkthrough at any time.
By selecting the Walkthrough process, the software displays a series of dialog
boxes. At each step in the Walkthrough process, confirmation boxes are pro-
vided to perform or skip the next step in the Walkthrough. To continue, select
OK. To skip this step and move to the next step, select Skip. To cancel the
entire walkthrough process, select Cancel.
