Section 5. Standard Software
Installation
Software required for a weather station consists of the datalogger program and a
datalogger support software suite for Windows.
5.1 Datalogger Program
The datalogger program operates the weather station. It programs the
datalogger to measure sensors, process the measurements, and store data in the
datalogger’s memory. The datalogger program is most easily created using
Short Cut. A separate manual covers the use of Short Cut in detail.
5.2 Weather Station or Datalogger Support Suite
Use of VisualWeather, PC400, or LoggerNet enables interfacing with the
weather station through Windows. Follow the installation procedure outlined
in the front of the software manual. These software packages download
programs to the weather station datalogger, monitor data, and retrieve data
stored in the datalogger.
5.3 Quick Start Review
Follow these steps to program the weather station datalogger and install the
support software suite.
1. Install VisualWeather, PC400, or LoggerNet into your computer as
outlined in their respective manuals.
2. Click the VisualWeather, PC400, or LoggerNet icon.
3. Create a program using Short Cut, which is included in VisualWeather,
PC400, and LoggerNet.
4. Print the wiring diagram produced by Short Cut and follow the wiring
assignments when connecting sensors to the weather station datalogger.
5. Use the EZ Setup Wizard in VisualWeather, PC400, or LoggerNet to set
up the weather station.
