Modem Installation
A modem may be used with the WR-25 for remote operations. A modem adapter which is available
from TWI must be used to properly connect the weather station to a modem. For auto answering, an
auto-answering modem with non-volatile memory must be used. The WR-25 does not send
AT
control signals , so in order for the modem to properly answer, the modem must be told
(programmed with a computer) to answer on whichever ring the user desires. (Modems
pre-programmed in non-volatile memory are available from Texas Weather Instruments.)

Computer Interface
The WR-25 may be plugged directly into computers equipped with RS-232 interfaces. Data may be
captured to disk by using a communication program (i.e., Crosstalk or Procomm for the IBM-PC) or
the TWI_LOG program. The WR-25 sends data in a serial format at 300 to 19.2 baud rate, 8 data
bits, no parity and one stop bit.
Note: The WR-25 has two separate minimum and maximum memories. Clearing the M command
minimum and maximum memory will not affect the C command minimum and maximum memory
and vice-versa. The printer/computer memories clear at 12:00 midnight every day and/or when the c
key is pressed on the computer console.
Calibration Reference
index / top
The Weather Report comes pre-calibrated from the factory, but it is possible to recalibrate most of
the primary functions of the instrument using the F5 function of the TWI_LOG program.
