a) Software Installation
• Place the CD included in the delivery in the corresponding drive of your computer.
• If the installation program does not start automatically, open the file manager and start the CD’s installation program
(e.g. “Easyweather.exe”).
• Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the setup process.
Administrator rights are required to install and operate the software. If you are working under a limited user account, you cannot install the software.
b) Connecting Weather Station to the PC, Starting Software
• Connect the USB socket at the tight of the weather station to a free USB port of your computer with the included special USB cable. Do not use the cable for any other devices!
• Wait a few moments for the device to register with the operating system.
• Start the weather station software. Then the data from the weather station are transferred to the PC.
The software can only be started when you are logged on to the computer with administrator rights (see chapter 12. a).
Depending on data volume, data transfer may take a while. Only after the data was read completely can the software be used.
When the weather station’s memory is full, export may take up to 2 minutes; calculation and presentation of the data may take another 2 minutes, depending on the customer’s speed.
For more information about the software observe, e.g., its help function.
For example, the software can be used to change the interval for saving measured data in the weather station (default: 30 minutes) between 5 and 240 minutes.
c) General Information
• For time information of the measured data in the weather station and PC to match, the time and date of the weather station and PC must be adjusted to each other.
Usually, the weather station uses the precise DCF time and the PC the precise time of a time server online.
Adjustment usually is not required.
• However, if you manually set the time/date of the weather station or PC, check and correct the settings before connecting the weather station to the PC.
• If you reset/delete the rain sensor data at the weather station, there will be mistakes when displaying measured values after export and assessment of the data in the PC if data has been saved on the PC for a while.
• Before the memory display in the lower right of the weather station display shows 100%, copy the weather station data onto a PC. Otherwise, the oldest measured data will be overwritten with new ones. When assessing the data on the PC, there may be an incorrect display.
