12. PC connection

a) Software installation
Place the CD included in the delivery in the corresponding drive of your computer (Windows operating system re-
quired, Windows XP or newer).
Start the software on the CD and follow all instructions of the software or Windows.
Administrator rights are required to install and operate the software. If you are working under a limited user
account, you may be unable to install or operate the software.
b) Connecting Base Station to the PC, Starting Software
Connect the USB socket at the rear of the base station to a free USB port of your computer with the included USB
cable. Windows may recognise new hardware when the base station is connected for the first time and installs the
required drivers.
Start the software.
For more information about the software observe, e.g., its help function.
c) General Information
• For time information of the measured data in the base station and PC to match, the time and date of the base station
and PC must be adjusted to each other.
Usually, the base station uses the precise DCF time and the PC the precise time of a time server online
(e.g. via the router). Adjustment usually is not required.
However, if you manually set the time/date of the base station or PC, check and correct the settings before
connecting the base station to the PC.
Otherwise, there may be contradictions between the display and the evaluation of the data.
• Before the memory display in the lower right of the base station display shows 100%, copy the base station data
onto a PC. Otherwise, the oldest measured data will be overwritten with new ones. When assessing the data on the
PC, there may be an incorrect display.
• In some PC systems, present programmes may cause an error during entry in the Windows registry when installing
the included software.
• In this case, proceed as follows:
1. Find the directory in which the programme "WeatherSmart.exe" is installed.
2. Generate a file reg_graph.bat" with the Windows text editor (not in Word or a similar program).
3. Enter the following text line into the file:
regsvr32 WeatherSmart.ocx
4. Save the file in the directory in which the program "WeatherSmart.exe" is also installed.
5. Double-click the file "reg_graph.bat"; the graphics driver for the software should now be integrated into the
Windows registry correctly.
