You can also bring the line to the bottom of the screen. The Red dots at the

bottom represent 1000-foot times. They are used so that you can get a better
example of the slope of your race vehicle. You can bring the line and match it so
that it contacts as many runs as possible. Ultimately the slope at the bottom and
top should match.

Getting the most out of your P.C. Weather Center


The most important thing to remember is to take the time to perform good

record keeping. If you make sure that you enter all of the information correctly
and enter and check the data you enter, the results will provide more consistent
and predictable performance from your race vehicle.

Remember to keep the Snap-In Weather Module out of the direct sun light

and never let it get wet. The wind instrument, on the other hand, is made for a wet
environment. The cables must be protected from abrasion and long term
exposure to the sun. Try to keep the cables inside of your trailer as much as
possible.

Make sure that you change your PCs time when changing time zones. It is

important that you keep the same time in your weather center as the track.

Short Cut to PCWeather Center

tm


If you would like to create a shortcut to your PC Weather Center Software

you can do so by opening up the Windows Explorer. Have the Window in reduced
size mode so that you can see the desktop in the background. Using your mouse
highlight the C:\ root directory and find the “pcwx” folder and double click on it.
On the right side of the screen you will see the pce.exe file. Using the left mouse
button, press and hold the highlighted “pce.exe” and drag it with the mouse to the
desktop.

You can rename the Icon to PC Weather Center and use this Icon to quickly

open up the PC Weather Center Software. If you have any questions regarding
any parts of the program, feel free to contact our Tech Department at 508-278-
2199 and we will be glad to help you out!!

See you at the races in 2008 !!
