GENERAL SETTINGS
Language:
This option sets the language for all windows and dialogs within Heavy Weather Pro. If a new language is selected,

Recording History File:
This is the path to the history data storage
file. You can change the location and name
of the history data file here. If you change
the filename, a new history data file will be
created at the next interval (see Recording
Interval).
New:
This button will create a new history file.
The new history file will be placed in the
location specified in the Recording History
File textbox.
Example: If a file named history.dat (the
default history file) already exists, the new
file will be created with the name
history1.dat. If history1.dat already exists,
the new file will be named history2.dat
and so on.
Creating a new history file will
cause all current data to be written
to this new filename.
If you plan to track and store data, we recommend that you use a filename other than “history” or
“weather”. Typically, file names must start with a letter and not have spaces in them to work properly
with other programs.
Note: You can also create a new history file by using the application menu options. Go to Extras,
options, and click the square button at the end of Recording History file. Type a new filename and click ok.
