-2000 USER MODE 

Introduction 

The WEATHERPAK

®

-2000 User Mode lets you: 

•

 

change communications settings; 

•

 

change system settings such as the clock time; 

•

 

change the data collection schedule; 

•

 

upload logged data. 

 
Type 

U

 to enter the User Menu.  The WEATHERPAK will display the following menu structure. 

 
USER MENU 
(C) Communications Menu            (T) Test Menu 
(F) System Functions Menu          (Z) Zeno Program Menus 
(S) Sample Period Menu             (H) Help 
(D) Data Retrieval Menu            (Q) Quit 
 

Changing and saving settings 

The configuration of your WEATHERPAK is held in EEPROM.  This means that the settings are retained, even 
when the system powered down.  When you power up the WEATHERPAK, the settings are read from EEPROM 
into RAM; the WEATHERPAK operates according to the configuration in its RAM. 
When you change any settings in the User Mode, the new configuration is held in RAM, and takes effect 
immediately.  However, if the system is powered down, the settings in RAM will be lost -- the old configuration 
will take effect the next time the system boots.  To save settings to EEPROM -- making them permanent until the 
next change -- you need to enter 

E

 from any of the sub-menus. 

Type E within any sub-menu to save all settings to EEPROM. 

You will lose any unsaved settings when the system powers down. 

The WEATHERPAK continues data collection while you are in the User Mode.  If there is no terminal activity for 
approximately three minutes, the WEATHERPAK will exit the User Mode.  You should save any settings you 
wish to keep to EEPROM before quitting the User Mode -- you will lose any unsaved settings when the system 
powers down. 

Help facilities 

Context-sensitive on-line help is available through two commands.  By entering 

Hn

, where 

n

 is a number, you 

obtain help on line item 

n

.   For example, in the System Functions Menu, 

H5

 gives you help on line item 5 -- Add 

Compass To Vane.  Remember to type 

<RETURN>

 or 

<ENTER>

 after any command. 

By entering 

HX

, where 

X

 is a command, you obtain help on that command. For example, entering 

HQ

 in the User 

Menu gives you information on the Quit option. 

Communications settings 

The communications parameters for your WEATHERPAK have been factory set.  We do not recommend that they 
be changed.  If you do wish to alter these settings (through the Communications Menu), you should be aware that 
the WEATHERPAK COM3 port is the one connected to your terminal.
