Preparing The Pc Interface - La Crosse Technology WS-2010 Software Manual

Preparing the PC Interface

Preparation of the PC interface consists purely of inserting two AA alkaline
batteries in the battery compartment on the rear side of the unit.
Only use high quality alkali-manganese batteries. The PC interface can-
not be operated without batteries.
The PC interface should only be put into operation after all the connected
sensors have been in operation for more than ten minutes!
During the initialization phase, no communication may be established between
the PC and PC interface. In order not to affect the sensor initialisation. The PC
and, more specifically the monitor, should remain switched off, because after
inserting the batteries, the PC interface immediately to search for the sensors.
This initialisation phase takes 6 minutes.
The initialization phase begins immediately and takes 6 minutes. During this
period, the interface searches for all sensor transmitters and defines a small
time window for each sensor received; the window being used later to activate
the receiver. If synchronization between the transmitter and PC interface is lost
as a result of temporary radio path interference, the interface scans for all the
sensor transmitters every 17 hours. During this period, any sensors added are
registered by the system.
In this way, new sensors are automatically integrated into the system.
Communication between the PC and interface should only be established 6
minutes after inserting the batteries.
To simplify commissioning, simply put the base station (interface) in the vicinity
of the sensors. This ensures the error-free transmission of data from the sensors
in the first step.
The data from the installed sensors is stored in the PC interface at an interval,
which can be set, between 2 minutes and 1 hour.
