UT10 Weather Station

9.2.3 NaN Displayed in a Variable

A. Make sure the battery voltage is between 9.6 and 16 Vdc.

B. Verify the sensor is wired to the analog channel specified in the

measurement instruction or Short Cut .FSL file (single-ended channels are

not labeled on the older CR10 silver-colored wiring panels and are

numbered sequentially starting at 1H; For example, 1L is single-ended

channel 2).

C. Make sure the range parameter in the measurement instruction covers the

full scale voltage output by the sensor.

9.2.4 Unreasonable Results Displayed in a Variable

A. Inspect the sensor for damage and/or contamination.

B. Make sure the sensor is properly wired to the datalogger.

C. Check the multiplier and offset parameters in the measurement

instruction.

10. Standard Software Installation

Software required for a weather station consists of the datalogger program and

a datalogger support software suite for Windows.

10.1 Datalogger Program

The datalogger program operates the weather station. It programs the

datalogger to measure sensors, process the measurements, and store data in the

datalogger’s memory. The datalogger program is most easily created using

Short Cut. A separate manual covers the use of Short Cut in detail.

10.2 Weather Station or Datalogger Support Suite

Use of VisualWeather, PC400, or LoggerNet enables interfacing with the

weather station through Windows. Follow the installation procedure outlined

in the front of the software manual. These software packages download

programs to the weather station datalogger, monitor data, and retrieve data

stored in the datalogger.

10.3 Quick Start Review

Follow these steps to program the weather station datalogger and install the

support software suite.

1. Install VisualWeather, PC400, or LoggerNet into your computer as

outlined in their respective manuals.

2. Click the VisualWeather, PC400, or LoggerNet icon.

3. Create a program using Short Cut, which is included in VisualWeather,

PC400, and LoggerNet.

4. Print the wiring diagram produced by Short Cut and follow the wiring

assignments when connecting sensors to the weather station datalogger.
