tm
Weather Station
is all of the run and weather information in one location that you can scroll through
and make a decision on the E.T. that the vehicle will run at a certain weather
condition. Even runs where the vehicle spun tires at the start line or where the
vehicle was shut off early can be used in part to help determine the E.T. potential
the vehicle has at a certain weather condition.
Optional P.C. Windows '95/'98 P.C. software will make organizing the
information at home very easy. You will be able to connect to your Personal
computer and take full advantage of the P.C.';s power to sort, save, edit,
renumber, and reload your Eliminator 2000 with race data pertaining to your
vehicle. There is no better way to save and store your valuable race information.

Weather Windows Software
The PCE program interfaces to the Eliminator to read and write the Weather and Race
Information. You can sort, edit, delete, and renumber the race vehicle information and then
reload that information back into the Eliminator 2000.
The PCE program will default to communicating through COM1 on your PC. You may
attach to any other valid COM port by “clicking on” “Setup” and then “Com Ports” at the main
screen below.
When you click on the Shortcut to PCE.exe icon on your desktop, you will see this main
screen. Click on “Eliminator” and then “Get Data from Eliminator” to down load all of the
race/weather data from the Eliminator. Make sure that the cable provided with the CD–ROM is
plugged into Com 1 on your P.C. and the center port on your Eliminator 2000. At the main
weather screen on the Eliminator you must depress a “6” to have the Eliminator in PC Linkup !
We have provided you with a utility to handle your Eliminator weather and Race Data, as
well as a demonstration of our Portatree Weather Center Deluxe software. Features that are
available on the P.C. Weather Center Deluxe software will be demonstrated, but are not fully
functional. The Menu Bar at the top of the screen will help you navigate through this software
and graph and/or print your Weather and Race information.
