CHAPTER 3

AWS CLIENT SOFTWARE

This chapter provides information on using Vaisala HydroMet™
Automatic Weather Station Client, or AWS Client for short, for
working with the QML logger.

Product Overview

Vaisala AWS Client is used for downloading data log files, issuing
QML logger commands and setting its parameters, and performing
maintenance tasks on the QML logger. The supported connection types
to the QML logger are serial line, dial-up connections using a modem,
and TCP/IP socket connections. The logger measures sensor data and
stores it in log files. With AWS Client, you can download these files to
your PC and view them.

When you start using the QML logger, the first thing you need to do is
to define what parameters you want to measure and at what frequency.
You can do this by creating the setup file using Lizard Setup Software.
With AWS Client, you can upload the setup file from your PC to the
logger.

AWS Client is also used for setting station-specific parameters such as
the station name, altitude, pressure sensor height, and sensor-specific
calibration coefficients. In addition, the QML logger date and time can
be either set manually or synchronized with the PC clock.

After you have uploaded the setup files to the QML logger, you can
browse the data files by downloading them from the logger to your PC.
