6.4 Field Monitor

Clicking the Field Monitor button will bring up a screen that allows you to
view the numeric values for a table.

Select the table you want to view from the Table list box; the values for that
table are displayed in the cells. Right-clicking on a value and then selecting
View/Edit will display the value in a separate dialog box and allow you to
change the value (if it is editable).

For array-based dataloggers, there may be long delays before the
values in the Field Monitor are updated when data collection is
occurring. No updates can be done until data collection is
completed.

NOTE

6.5 Manually Collecting Data

To manually collect data from a weather station, click the Start button in the
section of the screen titled Manual Data Collection. You will see the
progress bar fill as VisualWeather is retrieving data. You can stop data
retrieval at any time by clicking the Stop button.

6.6 Setting a Weather Station Clock

The station’s clock and the PC clock times are shown on the Connect screen.
When you click the Set Station Clock button, the station’s clock will be set to
the PC clock with the entered Time Zone Offset.
