Introduction
The WS-GP1 Weather Station measures wind speed and direction, air temperature,
relative humidity, solar radiation and rainfall.
Apart from the wind vane tail, the sensors are already attached to the cross-arm and
connected to a GP1 Logger with a weather station program installed.
This guide explains how to choose a site, install the mast, mount and align the cross
arm, add the wind-vane tail and align it to North. Then, using a PC or Windows Mobile
Device we show how to change the weather station program, check the sensor
readings, then acquire and display readings.
