SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION
The MSO Weather Station
The MSO weather station provides wind direction and speed measurements, capacitive relative humidity,
temperature and barometric pressure readings – all in a single sensor module. A separate and optional
tipping bucket rain gauge is available.
High accuracy and fine resolution make this system ideal for precision weather monitoring.
MSO data can be monitored with our proprietary Weather Display Console and WeatherMaster™
Software.
The Weather MicroServer is available for Ethernet connectivity, Modbus/TCP, Modbus RTU and SNMP
interface, Weather Underground and CWOP interface, XML weather data, and FTP.
