13. Software installation, connection to the PC
a) Software installation
Insert the enclosed CD into the corresponding drive of your computer (Windows operating system required, Windows
XP recommended).
If the installation program does not start automatically, open the file manager and start the installation program on
the CD (e.g. "setup.exe").
If the required current Java runtime version is not detected, the installation program offers you to install the right
version (contained on the CD). Java is mandatory to operate the software.
The software "WeatherCapture" is installed afterwards.
b) PC connection
Connect the USB connector (21) of the weather station to a free USB 2.0 port of your PC using the USB cable
provided.
Start the software by e.g. clicking on the start button under Windows XP. Then start the program "WeatherCapture"
in the folder "WeatherCapture" in "Programs". Of course, you can also create a shortcut on your desktop for an easier
start.
Now the message "Data is loading" appears and the data from the weather station is transferred to the PC.
c) Short description of the software

The software offers an extensive help file, which you can start via the menu bar on top.
After starting the software, all measuring values are displayed in different windows. You can move these windows
with the mouse and align them at wish on the software's surface.
You can also select different functions via the menu bar, e.g. to set the language of the software.
For the display windows "Temperature", "Wind", "Air humidity", "Air pressure" and "Rain", you can activate the
corresponding progression displays of the value changes by clicking on the small square field in the top left edge of
the display window (of course, these are empty at first start).

If the UV index indicator should appear in the software, you can deactivate this via the software's display
settings. (The software is also used for other weather stations, which is why it includes the UV index
display).
