For example to get to max temp you need to press the temperature several times, cycling through over functionality befor reaching the max/min which are the last functions in the cycle. To access min/max/total figures it's quite a few presses.
The backlight is strong, but doesn't help contrast. You can read it, but need to be at a good angle, it doesn't have good viewing angle and doesn't have good contrast when looking directly at it. Things that seem to be compromised for the price: If it weren't so cheap, I'd still be sitting here wishing I had a weather station. Overall I am extremely happy with the product considering the cost, and would easily recommend it based on my experiences. Now, just got to find somewhere to hook it up outside! I've referred to the other website mentioned in this post, and it looks like the way to go.
#Velleman easyweather manual
Slightly annoying that the manual mentioned the "web publishing" software, but there is none. I am assuming Vista's "moron proofing" was to blame, so head's up to anyone trying to keep their PC logically organised on Vista! I don't know if this is a Vista security thing, but when I moved the program directory on to my desktop, it worked. I initially installed the files on C:\easyweather, but it appeared not to be writing to the DAT file.
#Velleman easyweather software
The examples in the manual seem to show 1 minute interval readings are possible, but the software only allows minimum of 5 minute intervals.
Have had none of the problems mentioned in earlier posts. I manually toggled the rain gauge and the readings on the unit and the PC are the same. I got this unit about a week ago too (based on this thread), and only got around to setting it up on the bench last night (couldn't sleep!).Īfter a few minor annoyances getting it set up (instructions are a bit poor - one of the screws is shorter than the others!), all worked OK.
#Velleman easyweather update
The only downside I can see is that the screen is not as readable as some I have seen (although it is backlit for 30 seconds at first touch) and the update of wind speed etc is not instantaneous (probably to maximise battery life):thumbsup: Data from the PC software is exportable to spreadsheet. Build quality is good, all metalwork appears to be Stainless steel, although longevity of the plastic wind detection components could be an issue. Setup is simple, the manual is well written and the PC interface is excellent. It's wireless (range 450 feet) and has touch screen as well as PC interface (USB) and comes with software. Rainfall over various intervals & history. Indoor/Outdoor temp + Min & Max, wind chill & Dew point, % RH. I haven't been able to secure ministerial approval for the one of Davis models (over $1K) but this was affordable and very well featured (wind speed and direction, max, average or gust. Picked this up on ebay for $105 incl postage.
