Vaisala Observation Display - Manual (Page 12)

User's Guide ______________________________________________________________________
System Time
It is recommended that you adjust the PC and the weather station clocks
to the same time zone. Usually, universal coordinated time (UTC) time is
used instead of local time in all meteorological reports. In this case, the
PC is set to UTC time zone, too.
If you wish to use local time in the PC and UTC time in the weather
station, please see section Graphs on page 20 for separate instructions on
how to adjust real-time graphs on the display.
Adjusting PC time zone:
1. From Control Panel, select Date and Time.
2. From the Time Zone tab, verify that the computer clock is set to
UTC time and that the daylight savings option is not selected.
Power Options
Power Options are under Control Panel. Check that the PC never turns
off hard disks, never enters standby state, and never goes to hibernation.
Firewall and Virus Checking
Anti-virus programs may interfere with the application. If this happens,
you should adjust the anti-virus programs so that the installation
directory is not checked.
If data is received via TCP/IP connection, the PC firewall should be
configured to allow communications to and from the weather station.
Network Options
Unless otherwise specified, use the default settings:
1. Select Network Connections.
2. Select Internet Protocol.
3. Click Properties.
4. In the dialog that opens, make sure that "Obtain IP address
automatically" has been selected. If your network administrator has
provided the PC with a specific IP address, subnet mask, and
default gateway, make sure that they are configured correctly.
