You may need both or only one of these types of data but the optimum computer solution is likely to depend on your choice
#WEATHERCAT ELDER RECESS FULL#
Computer-linked weather stations deliver two main types of data: a snapshot of current weather conditions (sometimes called ‘live’ weather) and a full summary history or database of all weather readings since the station was first set up, which can then be charted, summarised and analysed as required.Linking the weather station to a computer can achieve many objectives but it is important to be clear about what you need from the system – the choice of hardware and software needs to be tailored to your personal or business requirements. For installation at remote field sites, Enviromonitor or Connect might often be the preferred station type. The Davis Enviromonitor (and Connect) stations typically upload data via their gateways direct (and only) to mostly via the mobile/cellular phone network and are not explictily discussed here – please see their respective linked pages for further details. IMPORTANT: Enviromonitor: The notes here cover the Vue and VP2 range of consoles and loggers only. However, once a decision is made on logger, computer and software, the actual implementation is usually very straightforward. But there are several alternative ways to make the computer link and the sheer choice available and the pros and cons of each option can be confusing to new users, hence these extra notes. Linking a Davis station to a computer, whether local or remote, is easily achieved by most users whatever their computer experience.
And automatic uploads to your own live weather website can add further interest (see one example right). Impressive graphics plus the option of comprehensive data storage and analytical features genuinely add a new dimension to the power, usefulness and enjoyment of the station. But irrespective of the computer’s location, a data logging/software package has to be the number one accessory for your Vantage Vue or VP2 station.
