Configuring Meteo Devices
Press the CONFIG button and then
choose 4 Interfaces and then 6
Meteo.
Use Device – Set to YES, to activate
using a Meteo device and access the
configuration options.
Port - defines the port to where the
Meteo device will be connected.
Data Rate – Defines the rate at which
data will be requested from the Meteo
device. Select between 0.1 to 3600
seconds. Note, the maximum rate
possible also depends on the type of
Meteo device attached.
If the rate is set higher than the
device is able to deliver data, it may
happen that no complete data sets
can be received at all or the data will
not have changed from the previous
measurement. Please refer to the
documentation related to the attached
device.
Log to File – Select YES to activate
direct logging of the Meteo data to a
file. Data will be logged always into
the same file/job where the GPS raw
data is being logged to. No data will
be logged, unless raw data logging is
active. Data will also be logged to
ring buffer raw data files if ring buffer
logging is active.
Notify Msg – Select BINARY, to
directly output the Meteo data to
external application software via a
selected communication port. Press
NPORT (F4) to select the remote port
and configure the device through
which the message shall be transmit-
ted.
The output message format is Leica
Binary V2 (LB2) message type
“Meteorological and Inclination Data
(ID 10
16
)”. Documentation for the LB2
Interface Control is available on
request from your Leica Geosystems
representative.
Press DEVCE (F5) to access the
device list. Select a Meteo device
from the list and press CONT (F1) to
confirm. To interface to the Vaisala
PTU200GPS, choose the MET3
interface but make sure the Vaisala
system has been programmed to
mimic the MET3 data string (details
will be supplied with Vaisala
PTU200GPS when purchased via
Leica Geosystems).
