On a PDA, a pull-down box will list the available commu-
nications ports. Select the one you are using. On a PC,
there is a text box to type in the number (without the
“COM”).
Next select the measurement system you wish to use.
English selects mph, degrees Fahrenheit, and in-Hg. Met-
ric selects km/h or m/s, degrees Celsius, and hPa/mbar.
The Wind Alarm is set using the up/down arrows. “0”
indicates no alarm. For any other value, if the true wind
reaches or exceeds the Wind Alarm value, the wind speed
value on the main screen will have a bright yellow back-
ground (sound alarms are seldom loud enough on PDAs to
be heard over machinery).
Your Sprayer Station has been preset to send six specific
data messages to the PDA or PC. Under rare situations,
the Sprayer Station can “forget” those settings. The
“Reset Station” button is used to re-educate the Sprayer
Station.
Note: The communications ports on some PDAs were de-
signed to omit key synchronization wires. The Sprayer
Station is so busy sending out weather data that it cannot
notice a message from the PDA or PC without those
wires. In this case, a PC would have to be used to reset
the Sprayer Station.
Tap “OK” to save your selections, and return to the main
screen.
Tap “Menu” again, and then tap “Configure Logging” to
set your data logging preferences.
