Calibration

You should attempt to calibrate your weather station to improve the accuracy of your

weather observations. Weather Display provides a set of offsets which allow you to tune

your data. For example, if you know that your outdoor temperature sensor always reads

C high you can set an offset for this so that Weather Display uses and stores the correct

value.

To adjust the offsets for your weather station, do the following:

1. €On the Weather Display main menu, click Control Panel.

2. €Under Station Settings, click Offsets & Initial Rain.

Offsets are available for:

• €Barometer

• €Temperature

• €Humidity (Inside and Outside)

• €Wind Speed

• €Wind Direction

• €Rainfall

• €Time of Day

Enter offset values as necessary. You can also set your month-to-date and year-to date rain

data here, as Weather Display stores the rain totals independently from data stored in your

weather station. Click Yes to save your entries.

Logs and Logging

General

Logging of data is on by default, to a log file, updated every minute. These logfiles can be

found under the folder logfiles in the wdisplay directory.

For the month of may 2001, the name of the log file is: 52001lg.txt

There is also 52001lg2.txt, this is for soil temperature (if you have it) and for the daily

high/low temperatures

Go to the Setup menu and select "log file recording" for options, including having a comma

separated log file (.csv extensions) for use with excel or other spreadsheets. You can even

have weather display produce a custom log file, using the variable tags as found in the file

owntemplate.txt , or see the section custom web page in this help

The log file is created every minute. Once you select the units you want, don't change them

again!. You can see the averages/maximum/minimums by selecting view/ view averages for

month (i.e month to date). Reset log file will do this in the next minute (i.e blank the data).

Importing log files

You can import log files produced by other software. Go to Action menu and select "Import

log files from other software", and chose the correct software.
