PRODUCT OVERVIEW
This chapter introduces YourVIEW YVU2000, the graphical user
interface software for Vaisala automatic data collection systems.
Overview of the System
The software is to be installed on a PC with operating system
Microsoft Windows 2000 , Windows XP, or Windows Vista.
YourVIEW YUV2000 offers a graphical presentation of real-time and
logged data and allows you to log data into your PC's hard disk.
Several modified displays are available.
YourVIEW consists of four modules that run simultaneously on your
PC:
- In the Receiver module, you define the communication settings for
receiving data from a data collecting system via your PC's serial
ports.
- The Data Logging module defines the data logging details.
- The Weather Display modules are used for real-time monitoring of
measured and calculated data.
- The Browser module allows you to study the logged history data in
more detail, both graphically and in table format.
Communication between the different modules is done by using the
Data Socket communication protocol (DSTP), which makes it
possible to have the Receiver, Display and Logging modules running
simultaneously in different computers connected to the same network
and using the same data. The Data Socket data packet also includes
the time stamp for each data packet.
