Initial Set Up

Once the Weather-Pro Application Software has been successfully installed it can be run from the Start Menu using Start > Programs > Weather-Pro > Weather-Pro

The newly installed program will use Comm Port 2 as the default port.

If the station is connected to a port other than Comm 2:

Select Tools - Options… from the Menu bar.
Select the General Tab of the Options… dialog box.
In the Communication Method box ensure that Direct Connect is selected
And Comm Port is set to the correct number
Click OK to save the new settings and close the Options… dialog box

If this is the first time you have used the program you must now create a new database

Select File – New ( the Open New dialog box will pop up)
Enter a name of the weather station you are about to connect to (eg Grey River)
Click OK

You must now request the computer to connect to the station

Select File – Connect from the Menu bar

If this is the first time the station has been connected to this computer you will see a “Weather Station and Database do not match. Do you want to re-configure the database to match this station?” message box.

Select OK

To Configure the software so that it will open the current database and connect the weather station automatically each time the software is started:

Tools – Options…
General Tab
Select Autoload last database on startup
Select Open Communications at startup
Press OK or Apply to save new settings
