Weather Station Selection

General

Go to the Setup menu and select "Weather Station Selection / Setup". Find the tab corresponding to your station type and click it. Depending on the station you select, you may find there is another small menu requiring an additional choice. When you have selected the appropriate model of station, you will be returned to the main display. The dark band at the top of the display, will now reflect the station you selected.

Initial setup for specific brands (if required)

Dallas 1-wire setup

You need to do some additional setting up for Dallas 1-wire sensors. You need to use the station selection screen to check that it has correctly identified your ibuttons. On the setup page, you can also see the additional temperature sensor and the humidity sensor/temperature readings (if you have one).

Dallas 1-wire station owners also need to set up the wind direction ibuttons. Click on View, Setup Dallas 1-Wire Wind Direction And Rain to do this. If you have an ini.txt file that was created by Weather 204 and the create list program provided by Dallas Semi, then you can import that file to set the wind direction and rain/wind ibuttons. Next check that the windspeed ibutton ROM ID has been correctly identified. If not, check what was reported under View, WS2000/WMR900H/Dallas 1-wire Data Information. You can change the ROM ID if it is wrong, and then click Save. If you have an extra temperature sensor, then the ROM ID for it should be displayed here as well.

Davis setup

Don't worry about the COM port release times, unless you want to let Davis Weather link get access to the station at some point to download data from the Davis Datalogger. Davis owners also need to select their rain gauge resolution type.

You also need to select the data logger baud rate. The Full version is for when you have a rain gauge, humidity sensor etc. In weather Display, the wireless WMII is the same as the WMII Full Version.

ELV/Conrad/WS2000/WS7000 or The Lacrosse or WMR900h

These are all the same type of station. You will need to do some more initial setup for these stations. Click on View, WS2000/WMR900H /Dallas 1-wire Data Information. Next set the outdoor temperature sensor to use. Choose from the list once you have some sample data. Click on get data to get a sample to check that you have the correct sensor. Also set the logging interval to 5 minutes.

Click on Set Names to allocate names to the sensors to appear with the data in this window. You can also allocate a temperature/humidity sensor to use as your soil sensor, and have it displayed on the main Weather Display screen above the wind speed dial.

Ultimeter

There are a number of things to set up. Make sure your weather station console is in datalogging mode at all times. Check this after your restart Weather Display. If you have a U2000 more than 3 years or so old, you may need to choose the "No average speed in the data" under Ultimeter data setup. You can also choose whether you have a humidity sensor or rain gauge.

WMR

A WMR-918H is actually a WMR-968, so try that station type
