PC Time Synchronization

3 Obtaining Data from Other

Sources

PC Time Synchronization

You can configure Weather Display to synchronize the time on your computer with an

Internet time source. Synchronization ensures that the weather observations from your

station have the same time and date as others around the world.

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

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

3. €Select the Sync the time every 6 hours at 30 minutes past the hour, over the

Internet check box.

4. €To synchronize the clock immediately, click Sync time now.

Alternatively, you can use a clock offset, which is added/subtracted every hour if your

computer clock loses/gains time at a known rate.

• €Enter a number of seconds in the PC Clock adjust per hour (seconds) box.

Note•••Weather Display does not use the time from weather station consoles.
