Welcome to Vantage Vue
The console of your new Vantage Vue wireless weather station displays and records your
station’s weather data, provides graph and alarm functions, and interfaces to a computer using
our optional WeatherLink
®
software.
Your Vantage Vue station also includes an outdoor Integrated Sensor Suite (ISS) that transmits
outside sensor data to the console via a low-power radio. The console displays all the
information coming from the ISS in an easy-to-use format. It can also receive data from a
Davis Vantage Pro2
™
weather station. The Vantage Vue Quick Reference Guide included with
your station provides an easy-to-use reference for most console functions.
Console Features: Keyboard & Display
Use the keyboard to access and scroll through current and historical data for individual
variables, set and clear alarms, enter calibration values, set up and view graphs, and view
detailed weather information available for each variable.
The keyboard consists of 12 command keys and four navigation keys.
A weather variable or console command is printed on each command key. Just
press a key to select the variable or function printed on that key.
Each command key also has a secondary function which is printed above the
first row of keys or below the second row of keys. To select the secondary
function, press and release 2ND and then immediately press the key for that
function.
After pressing 2ND, the
icon displays above the moon phase icon on the screen
indicating that all secondary key functions are enabled. Keys resume normal operation after
the icon disappears (about 7-8 seconds).
The + and - navigation keys along with the < and > navigation keys are
used to select command options, adjust values, and to provide additional
functions when used in combination with a command key.
An arrow
appears next to the variable selected in the display.
