4.4 EVATION DATA PROCESSING SOFTWARE
4.4.1 Installing EVATION
Once the data from the PCMCIA flash cards are stored on the hard disk of the PC, the provided
EVATION software can process the collected data to fluxes of sensible heat and evaporation. The
EVATION software can organise and process data for multiple
LAS-BET / LAS-RET stations (using
selectable working directories, which in turn consist of in/output and configuration directories).
Insert the EVATION CD-ROM in your PC to start the installation of EVATION. In case the installation
does not start automatically, invoke “SETUP.EXE” on the EVATION CD-ROM. All installed files reside
in the selected EVATION program directory. After successful installation a new program group called
EVATION is created. Start this program by clicking on the EVATION icon (
).
