Station Configure

 

 
Before setting alarms, use this function to indicate what sensors you have 
with your Vantage Pro or Vantage Pro2 system.  The Configuration Utility 
uses your choices to determine what parameters to show in the list.  Note 
that you can only enter this dialog box when no alarms are set.  This 
prevents a user from hiding a parameter that is set as an alarm condition. 
 

 

 
Selecting Vantage Pro Plus automatically checks the Solar Radiation and UV 
check boxes.  You can also check them separately. 
 
The Leaf Wetness, Soil Moisture, Leaf Temperature, and Soil Temperature 
selections refer to the sensors on the Leaf & Soil Moisture Temperature 
Station or Soil Moisture/Temperature Station.  Temp 1, Temp 2, Humidity 1, 
Humidity 2 refer to the sensors on the Wireless Temperature or Wireless 
Temperature/Humidity Stations.  Indicate the sensor by selecting the number 
that corresponds to the transmitter ID on your Wireless Temperature or 
Temperature/Humidity Station.  Please note that the Alarm Output data 
logger makes no distinction between Vantage Pro and Vantage Pro2.
