Vaisala Observation Display - Manual (Page 38)

User's Guide ______________________________________________________________________
Timeout: Time (in seconds) after which a user interface element (text
box, wind display element) indicates that variable is missing if no new
value has been received from the AWS. Note that the timeout should be
at least as long as is the interval between two AWS messages.
For unit conversions, see section Observation Time Series on page 16.
If data messages are received into the terminal window but values do not
show up in the main display, there may be a conflict between the weather
station and the application variable names. Check that the variable names
used by the system match to the names included in the incoming
message. If necessary, add new variables by clicking the Add button.

Line Protocol
The communications dialog can be used to select the data input type and
related parameters. First, select the communications type: TCP/IP client,
TCP/IP server, or serial communications.
If Tcp/Ip client is selected, Observation Display uses a TCP/IP client to
connect to a TCP/IP server running at the weather station. Enter the
weather station IP address in the text box.
If Tcp/Ip server is selected, Observation Display starts a TCP/IP server
to which the weather station connects. Enter the IP address of the PC in
the text box. You can click the Detect IP button to find out the primary
address.
