SYNC USB STICK TO DISPLAY
DOWNLOAD SOFTWARE
: Please download the Heavy Weather Pro 2800 Series
software from Website:
http://www.lacrossetechnology.com/support/software.php
.
INSTALL USB DEVICE
: Install the USB communication device; simply plug it into
any available USB port on the computer where you have installed the Heavy
Weather Pro software application. No driver installation is necessary because the
USB device is self-registering. Once the Heavy Weather Pro software is installed
and synchronized, it will automatically connect to the USB device.
NOTE
: Although the USB communication device can be installed on any USB port
connected to the computer, using a non-powered USB hub or extension cable
increases the chance for interruptions between the USB communication device and
the computer. Where obstructions are an issue, a good quality 6ft USB extension
cable can be used if it is directly connected to either a powered hub or a port on the
computer itself.
For best performance, we recommend that the USB device be connected to a USB
port directly on the computer. An externally powered USB hub can be used, but
avoid using a self powered USB hub or extension cable longer than 6ft.
These USB extension devices cannot generate sufficient power to maintain ongoing
communication.
SYNCHRONIZE:
Synchronize the Weather Station to the software: Press and hold
the DOWN ARROW until the station beeps. Click the Synchronize button on the
software. The weather station will display ‘
SCn-PC’
while trying to connect.
Once
connected PC will show on the display. Wait a moment to see the software “come
active” with current data.
WHY DOES USB STICK REQUIRE RESYNC?
If you turn off the PC or the USB ports on the computer are allowed to enter sleep
mode, you will have to resync the weather station to the computer.
WEATHER STATION CANNOT BE FOUND
To repeat the synchronization process, put both the weather station and the
software into synch mode again. Press the down arrow on the display, then click
the Synchronize button on the ‘Synchronize’ message box (on the software).
Please see the HeavyWeather Pro software manual for more synchronization detail.
