WeatherLink for Vantage Pro/Pro2
For the ultimate in weather monitoring, add WeatherLink to your Vantage Pro or Pro2. The data logger fits neatly into the console or Weather Envoy, storing weather data even when its not connected to your PC. Later, download the data and use the software to create graphs, generate summaries, and more. Expanded Reporting. See current conditions at a glance on the instant weather bulletin. Graph data on a daily, weekly, or yearly basis. Or view multiple weather variables at the same time to see their relationships.
Create Weather Watcher Reports in NOAA National Climatic Data Center Format. View special reports on heating degree days, cooling degree days, and fuel-oil demand. With optional sensors, see reports on evapotranspiration, leaf wetness, soil moisture, soil temperature, sunburn risk for each skin type, and solar energy.
Sharing Your Weather Data. Help the National Weather Service develop improved weather prediction models by submitting your data to the Citizen Weather Observer Program via APRS or the Internet. Create your own weather website or post weather conditions to a LAN using our included HTML templates. Upload other files (such as images from a webcam) along with your weather data. Participate in The GLOBE Program, an international weather-related science program for students from elementary through high school, supported by NASA and NSF.
System Requirements: Requires Windows 95/NT4.0/98SE/2000/ME/XP with serial port. Weather website features require Internet Explorer 4 or above.

ALL Features
WeatherLink® for Vantage Pro® and Vantage Pro2™ Software and Data Logger
WeatherLink® for Vantage Pro® and Vantage Pro2™ consists of our WeatherLink software and a specialized data logger that connects to a Vantage Pro or Vantage Pro2 console. The software and data logger transfer your Vantage Pro or Vantage Pro2 weather data to your computer, allowing you to create a permanent weather database. Once stored in the database, your weather information can be used to generate a wide variety of reports and graphical displays, and can also be shared via the Internet. WeatherLink is packaged with one of the following data loggers:
• Serial Data Logger (# 6510SER) — Connects your Vantage Pro or Vantage Pro2 console to a computer via a serial connection or a remote modem connection.
• USB Data Logger (# 6510USB) — Connects your Vantage Pro or Vantage Pro2 console to a computer via a USB connection.
WeatherLink is also available in specially designed models:
• WeatherLink for APRS with Streaming Data Logger (# 6540) — Connects a Vantage Pro2 console or Weather Envoy to a ham radio with TNC modem for instant transmission of both your location and the local weather conditions via APRS.
• WeatherLink with Alarm Output with Connector Block (# 6544) — Allows you to use the to control fans, heaters, etc., based on weather parameters you set.
• WeatherLink for Emergency Response Teams (# 6550) — Provides real-time weather data needed to map the footprint of a hazardous plume, predict its dispersion, and help make critical public safety decisions.
• WeatherLink for Irrigation Control with Connector Block (# 6560) —Allows you to use your to turn your irrigation system on or off.
Each also simultaneously logs and stores the data, which can later be downloaded to your PC for all the graphing, charting, and analysis available in WeatherLink.
WeatherLink Software Features
• Displays the current data in a real-time “bulletin” on the computer.
• Allows you to set and clear data in the console (time and date, highs and lows, alarm thresholds, calibration numbers, etc.) from the computer.
• Graphs archived weather data on an hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly basis.
• Generates Weather Watcher reports in the National Climatic Data Center (NOAA) format.
• Collects data from multiples on the same computer.
• Internet support for creating your own weather website and for uploading other files such as web cam images.
• Includes support for GLOBE, an international weather-related science program for students from elementary through high school. Visit www.globe.gov for more information.
• APRS data protocol allows volunteers in the Citizen Weather Observer Program (CWOP) to send real-time weather data to the National Weather Service. CWOP data is used for weather education and research projects. Visit www.wxqa.com for more information.
WeatherLink Data Logger Features
• Archives weather data for subsequent transfer to the computer.
• Manages data communication between the and the WeatherLink software.
• Information on WeatherLink communications protocols and data formatting can be found on the Software Supportpage at our website: (http://www.davisnet.com/support/weather/).
For phone modem connections, the following additional hardware is required: One external modem to connect to the WeatherLink and one internal modem or external modem connected to your computer (modems must be Hayes compatible), and Telephone Modem Adapter (# 6533).
