Glossary of Common Terms
LCD
"LCD" is an acronym for "Liquid Crystal Display". This is a common type of display screen used in televisions,
computers, watches, and digital clocks.
BAROMETER & BAROMETRIC PRESSURE
A barometer is a device that measures the pressure of the air pushing on it—this measurement is called the
barometric pressure. We don't actually feel the barometric pressure because the air pressure is pushing equally
in every direction.
RELATIVE AIR PRESSURE
Relative air pressure is the same as the barometric pressure. The calculation of relative air pressure is a
combination of the absolute air pressure and the altitude.
ABSOLUTE AIR PRESSURE
Absolute air pressure is the actual air pressure on the barometer without regard to altitude.
INCHES OF MERCURY (inHg)
Inches of Mercury are the common unit of measurement for air pressure in the United States.
HECTOPASCALS (hPa)
Hectopascals are the common units of measurement for air pressure in the International System (SI) of
measurement. The hectopascal holds the same value
Important Note:
Before inserting batteries, please carefully read the operation manual.
The touch screen weather station includes a base station (receiver), a solar-powered transmitter unit, one wind
direction sensor, one wind speed sensor, one rain gauge, USB cable and a PC software package on CD-ROM.
The Base Station is equipped with a Touch Screen LCD Monitor and allows the display of a large variety of time
and weather data.
