Advanced Setup—Firmware Settings
The firmware resides within the sensor itself and is separate from the
WeatherCaster software. To access these firmware settings, click the Advanced
Setup button found at the top right of each WeatherCaster screen.
There are tabs at the top of the Advanced Setup window (see Figure 29). Click a
tab to access the relevant window. At any time, return to the WeatherCaster
display screen by clicking the Close button.
Sensor Hardware
Information about your sensor and its software is displayed in the box on the left of
the Sensor Hardware screen (see Figure 29).
NMEA 2000 Interface—Since more than one sensor may be connected, you must
choose a source sensor. Select any available sensor from the Source Sensor, drop-
down menu. (see Figure 30). Note that a Source Sensor is identified by its function.
If a WeatherStation Instrument is available, it will be the default sensor, and it will be
identified as Weather. The actual sensor associated with each function is defined by
the user through the Communications Interface.
