▲ Name
Enter the desired station name in this text box. Note that when you first
create a station, the software uses the first eight characters of the station
name as the name of the directory into which it saves this station’s data-
base and configuration files and the first three characters as the file exten-
sion for that station’s database files. If you change the station name, the
software will prompt you to change the name of the station directory and
database file extension.
▲ Model
Select the weather station model from the drop-down list box.
▲ Rain Collector
Select the increment in which the rain collector you use with the station
measures rainfall. If you do not have a rain collector, choose None.
