Section 5. ET Software Installation
The ET Evapotranspiration Stations are supported by PC120 "ETPro" for MS-DOS.
ETPro is used to write and download the station program, and to retrieve and report data.
ETPro works in conjunction with PC208 Datalogger Support Software. PC120 and
PC208 each have their own manual, which should be consulted for installation procedures
and operational details.
