Casella CEL Nomad portable weather station - Manual (Page 28)

When a permanent or regular link is made between the system and
the PC, all items required for the display page or pages have been
added and positioned, the data sources required by the layout are
defined, connected and operating, the system can be operated in
real-time mode.
Real time operation can be switched on or off in three ways:
Icon Press the clock icon ,
Menu Option Use the Realtime option on the
Weather Stations menu,
Keyboard Press Ctrl + R keys at the same time.
When in operating in real-time mode, the display will be updated each time the
link is made, so the low power radio link gives a near real-time display, updated
typically every 20 seconds.
A GSM system is not really suitable because when it is set to read data
once per hour, the display will update only once per hour.
