US Temperature Feeder
The US Temperature Feeder application monitors a NOAA web page for the local outside
temperature. The application requires an internet connection and the appropriate NOAA
URL for the station location. The Temperature Feeder is not started as part of the
GS-4000. Start this application using the Windows Start > All Programs.
The top portion of the Temperature Feeder window contains the XML address field.
Selecting the button at the right end of the XML Address field will open a browser that
takes you to an initial NOAA web page. The page allows you to select the State from a
drop down box. The page will then find all of the locations within the state that have XML
weather monitoring. Select the desired location and the NOAA page with the weather
conditions will be displayed. Cut and paste the URL form the web browser into the
Temperature Feeder XML address field. The application will now feed the temperature
from this page to the LogoMaster Field linked to the Temperature feeder port.
The left hand section of the Temperature Feeder window is for setting the Client port
number and starting and stopping the connection. The check box allows the Server to
Auto Connect to the client when the server application is opened.
The right hand section of the window controls the query attributes.
