User's Guide ______________________________________________________________________
View Menu Commands
Settings
Opens a window for setting configuration. Only available to an
administrator.
Terminal
The terminal window can be opened from the View menu. The window
shows the messages exchanged between the PC and the AWS.
In the bottom of the window, the AWS communications parameters are
shown. Note that these values can only be changed by the administrator,
from the Settings - General Settings - Communications display.
If the communication link to the AWS is closed, you can initiate it by
clicking the Start button. The connection should open within a few
seconds.
The connection remains open as long as you manually close it by
clicking the Stop button. If the connection is temporarily broken (for
example, the communications cable has been disconnected for a while), it
resumes automatically after a few seconds.
The administrator may configure the connection to open automatically
whenever Observation Display is started. Note that the terminal window
does not allow direct user-typed input from the keyboard.
The terminal menu settings are:
Connection - Connect. Opens a connection to the AWS.
Connection - Disconnect. Closes the AWS connection.
Connection - Capture. The submenu commands of Capture can be used
to make a capture log of the terminal window. These menu items only
become visible when the connection has been opened.
Command - Synchronize clocks. Immediately synchronizes AWS clock
with PC clock.
Command - Synchronize parameters. Sets the following AWS
parameters: station name, station altitude, and pressure sensor height.
Command - Reset AWS. Resets the AWS immediately.
