VisualWeather has a complete on-line help system. Most screens have a Help
button that, when pressed, will bring up help about the screen. In addition,
help for any screen can be displayed by pressing the F1 key on your computer.
A Help file Table of Contents, an Index, and a Search function can be
displayed by selecting VisualWeather Help from VisualWeather's main menu.

The VisualWeather Home screen is the starting point for all tasks in the
software:

The most common tasks (configuring a weather station, connecting, creating
reports, displaying station data, monitoring data collection status, and viewing
the network) are shown as headings on this screen. Less common tasks (batch
reports, importing data, exporting data) are accessible from VisualWeather’s
menu.

Configuring your weather station in VisualWeather is simple using the

The EZSetup Wizard will walk you through each step in the setup process. If
help is needed on a specific screen, press the Help button at the bottom right of
the window. To move forward and backward in the EZSetup wizard use the
Previous and Next buttons. At any time you can click the Cancel button.
This will cancel configuring the weather station.
