Skye MiniMet, Руководство по установке, Страница: 42 / 58

20 SOFTWARE
a) Installed MiniMets without GSM/GPRS or a cable link to a computer
To offload the data from this type of installation, the MiniMet needs to be visited with a laptop
computer and the RS232 to serial data lead which was supplied with your station.
The software you will require is SkyeLynxComms. This needs to be pre-installed on your laptop.
Please refer to the separate manual for SkyeLynxComms.
The data offloaded is a text file. This file can then be used in the office with readily available
software, such as Excel, for manipulating the data and drawing graphs. For computers running
Windows XP and earlier, we can offer SkyeLynx Deluxe Graphing Package.
b) Installed MiniMets with a cable link to a computer, but without GSM/GPRS
There are two options for this installation depending on whether you require just the data, or if you
would like a 'Live Display' of the weather on your computer.
i) Data only.
You will need SkyeLynxComms installed on the PC attached to the MiniMet. Offload the data as
and when you require. Again, the data is a text file and can be used with software such as Excel for
manipulating the data and drawing graphs. For computers running Windows XP and earlier, we can
offer SkyeLynx Deluxe Graphing Package.
ii) Live Display
For this option you will need to purchase from Skye the DHSU utility.
The MiniMet DataHog sends a datastring at the logging interval set in the DataHog configuration.
The datastring shows the readings of each channel at the time it was sent. So, if your dataHog is
configured for 10 minute logging, then a datastring showing the readings will be sent every 10
minutes.
DHSU will be 'listening' on the Comm Port connected to your MiniMet and when it detects the
datastring, the software will display it on the computer screen and store the datastring in a day file.
