Upload a graph of weather data for a day from the graph

history to my Web site

All you need to do is go to view, graph history, get the graph that you want, then click

"saved to file." The next step is you need to go to action, manage my ftp server, and choose

the file that you want to upload. EX: the graph will be saved as savedgraph.gif under

weather display.

Create custom weather Web pages and HTML for

beginners

To get you started with HTML coding, take a look at: Creating a Weather Web Page.

Change the background color of the default weather page

Go to the setup menu. Click on "Setup FTP / Internet/ ...". Click on the tab labeled "Web

Files #2". In the section at the bottom labeled "WEb Table Setup", click the button labeled

"Set Background web page colour". Pick a colour from the display and click OK. The page

background you selected will be used.

Where do I create the wxlocal. html folder?

Go to "Windows explorer" once there, go to "wdisplay" you will see a whole bunch of files

and folders, you are looking for the folder named "webfiles". That's where you need to make

the wxlocal.html file, in "webfiles" Make sure it has a file extension of .html and not .htm

(but you can change the extension needed in the ftp/internet/custom web page setup)

What is the "Remove wind speed spikes" option under

graph setup options?

That would be for the WM-918 users, that station some times produced winds that were of

biblical proportions, this problem is not caused by Weather Display.The use of a

optoislolator on the windspeed cable or rain cable fixes that.

Copy Weather Display data to another computer

Copy the data files, log files, and web files folders across, then also wdisplay.ini from

c:\winnt or c:\windows and export/import wdisplayftp.ini from the registry. (Look here!) and

send me the new code shown in the "Register" menu.
