All of the port settings, data input settings, output settings, function keys, mouse buttons and other information
required to use WinWedge with the AirData Multimeter have already been set up in each of the example
Configuration Files. These files are ready to be used as soon as loaded. These files may also be copied
repeatedly and each copy modified as required to suit the needs of the user.
It is recommended that the user begin by reading the relevant sections of the WinWedge software User’s
Manual to become familiar with issues of configuration, settings, output formats and any other areas of interest.
The following information is only a preliminary exposure to the WinWedge capabilities.

5.5.1 CONFIGURATION FILE SET-UP IN WINWEDGE
Configuration files must be defined and saved prior to using WinWedge. The
WinWedge Set-up
main menu
has three pull-down menu selections for access to the most important set-up windows required for use with the
AirData Multimeter. These windows are used to determine the basic structure of configuration files used by
WinWedge for receiving a data stream, processing the data received, and transmitting it to specific cells of a
spreadsheet.
Mode > Send Keystrokes To
Port > Settings
Define > Input Data Record Structure
> Pre-Input Character Translations
> Pre-Transfer Character Translations
> Serial Output Strings
> Hot Keys and Hot Key Actions
The
Mode > Send Keystrokes To
selection defines the destination of the information downloaded from the
meter. A spreadsheet must be open and active before using this option. If no destination has been specified,
WinWedge will transmit the first field of the data stream to the location of the cursor on the spreadsheet that is
open and active.
Port > Settings
is discussed in Section 5.5.2 PORT AND DATA INPUT SETTINGS.
The
Define > Input Data Record Structure
must be defined for WinWedge to decipher the incoming stream of
data and deliver the required data to the appropriate spreadsheet cell. The AirData Multimeter downloads data
in a set of comma-delimited fields in ASCII format. This incoming data will be analyzed by the
Port > Analyze
function in WinWedge. The required data conversion is entered using
Define > Input Data Record Structure,
Define > Pre-Input Character Translations
, and
Define > Pre-Transfer Character Translations
.
The number and type of fields which are downloaded from the meter into WinWedge, and therefore to the
spreadsheet, depends on the type of measurement being taken. Possible fields include the measurement
command type, measurement mode, density selection, standard temperature assumption, value of reading, and
units.
The user may require a download format that includes only certain fields. This requires setting the WinWedge
Define > Input Data Record Structure
to ignore all other data fields and transfer only the relevant data field for
each reading.
