Serial Port
To communicate with the data logger and station you must select the serial port
you are using and enter the correct settings.
1. Choose Serial Port
from the Setup
menu or press Ctrl-
I.
The Serial Port Set-
tings dialog box
appears.
2. Enter the following
information:
▲
Serial Port
Select the serial
port to which
the data logger
or modem is
connected.
▲
Baud Rate
Set the baud
rate to 19200, the default baud rate for the Weather Envoy Data Logger.
▲
Hangup Wait Time
Enter the amount of time, in minutes, the program should wait before
hanging up the connection and releasing the serial port during an idle con-
nection. If, for example, you’ve dialed your station, downloaded data, and
then left the connection open without the bulleting or summary running,
the software will hang up the modem after the time you specify here. This
feature is useful if another program uses the modem or another program
accesses the data logger.

connection). Once you’ve selected this box, the grayed-out options in the
lower part of the dialog box will be activated.

Envoy) in this box. Make sure to enter the area code and any necessary
prefixes (for example, 1, 011, etc.).
▲
Enter a comma (,) to force the modem to pause before dialing the next
digit. You may enter more than one comma to increase the length of
time for which the modem pauses.
▲
Enter a “w” to force the modem to wait for a dial tone before dialing
the next digit.
