records the highest and lowest readings for
temperature, relative humidity, dew point
temperature, maximum wind speed, daily
and accumulated rainfall, and minimum wind
chill. You can reset the memory separately
for each weather type.
Weather Alarms — let you set the monitor
to sound an alarm for each weather parame-
ter (temperature, wind speed, rainfall rate,
dew-point temperature, and so on) and alert
you when a set weather condition is reached.

nect the monitor to a personal computer
