11.2 Real Time Field Mapping
Data mapping required to monitor Current Conditions and view Station Data is
done from the Real Time Field Mapping screen of the EZSetup Wizard. (Real
Time Field Mapping is the fourth screen under the Data Files/Mapping section
of the EZSetup Wizard.)
The goal is to associate the RealTime Parameter with a value, or Data Field,
in the datalogger. To map a value, first select the data table (typically Public or
Inlocs) that contains the value you want to associate from the Tables list.
When a table is selected, the values in that table are displayed in the Fields list.
Click the Data Field cell for which you want to map a value, and then double-
click the value to be mapped in the Fields list. The name of the field will be
displayed in the Data Field when it has been mapped. To clear an association,
right click and select Clear. The Units field should specify the units of the data
value from the datalogger. This will be converted as needed for display
purposes. If the default unit is incorrect, click within the field to enable a list
box from which to select an appropriate unit.
12. Web Output
Web output can be enabled From VisualWeather’s main menu, by selecting
Tools | Web Output Options.
When Web Output Enabled is selected, the following will occur:
• Station Data launched from the VisualWeather main screen will output
images when new data is available. If Station Data Screens is selected,
each screen will be output as Local Output Folder\<station name>.png.
If Individual Station Data Components is selected, individual data
controls will be output as Local Output Folder\<station
name>.<componentname>.png
• When Web is checked in the Output As field for a batch report, all
reports for the batch will be saved to Local Output Folder\<station
name>. They are saved as both paginated jpg images and as .html pages
• A webdata.xml file is stored in the Local Output Folder. This file
contains the list of stations and for each station: the last data values
collected and references to batch reports configured to be output to the
web. This file is updated when data is collected, and when a batch report
is generated.
• Default.htm is located in the web folder. Default.htm uses WebData.xml
and constructs a web site that allows the user to see the stations, station
data, and batch reports generated for the web.
• When the Include Station In Web Report Image Paths option is
checked, the image path referenced in each web report is <station
name>/<image name>. When creating your own website or loading the
reports directly into a browser (without using the shipped default.html),
you may wish to uncheck this option. With the option unchecked, the web
report image path will be just be the image name without the relative path
(station name) included. The default for this option is checked.
