Starting Operation Of The Software And Initialising The Interface - La Crosse Technology WS-2510 Operating Instructions Manual

Starting operation of the software and
initialising the interface
1. Connecting the interface
First the interface must be connected to the relevant COM port/to a port on the
ELV RS 232 multiplexer. The standard connection to the PC is via the first serial
interface (COM 1).
If necessary, after starting the operating and evaluation software, you can select
another serial interface (from COM 1 to COM 4) by using the function "Inter-
face" in the "Interface" -> "Properties" menu.
If you use the ELV RS 232 multiplexer, first set the option "Available" in the
"Interface" -> "Properties" -> "RS232 Multiplexer" menu (marked with a tick
when activated) and then the multiplexer port occupied by the radio interface
(see detailed description in chapter 6: "Interface").
2. Initialisation
After the batteries have been inserted and the interface's internal initialisation
phase is over, the interface will be set to the following standard parameters:
Address of the indoor sensor:
Address of the wind sensor:
Address of the brightness sensor: 7
Address of the rain sensor:
Sensor version:
Interval time:
If you wish to change these parameters, you can call up the initialisation menu
via "Interface" -> "Properties" -> "Initialise" (see also chapter 7: "Interface").
Addressing
For details on addressing the sensors please read the chapter entitled "Starting
operation of the sensors".
Sensor version
For details on determining the sensor version, please read the chapter entitled
"Preparation of the radio interface".
Setting the interval time
The indoor storage of the interface can save 1024 data records, and the maxi-
mum recording period is dependent on the time interval set.
