Weather station in NorCloud

The weather station must be of type Thies Clima US and installed into a Nor1545 cabinet fitted with connectors and power supply for this option.

The weather data is aggregated up to 1 minute profile. The data is compressed in normal average calculation except for the following functions:

Wind direction : Will only be handled if Wind function has value equal or more than 1 m/s. That means this function need to have Wind (speed) function active. The wind direction is an average value of all the profileA samples into one minute.

Rain : Will be summarized for each 1 minute (not averaged).

Enable weather data in the instrument by following these few steps:

Stop and exit any ongoing measurement

Turn off the instrument and connect the weather station

Turn on the instrument

Go to SETUP -> Input and enable the Weather station, ensure that it doesn't display any error messages

Go to SETUP -> Measurement -> Weather functions

Activate the parameters you want to log from "Wind speed" to "Air pressure"

Save to Exit

Start the measurement in NorCloud Mode
