Issues relating to Computer:
Q. Which computers are compatible with the OS Weather software?
A. Personal computer or laptops which run Microsoft Windows XP SP2 or Vista. Apple Mac
computers are not compatible with the software. The system operating requirements are:
• Processor: Pentium 4 or above
• RAM: Min. 512MB
• Hard disk free space: Min. 512MB
• Screen area: 1024×768 pixels (recommended)
Q. Can the program work and transmit information during Sleep Mode?
A. No. When the PC enters Sleep mode, the computer effectively disables all working
functions, including the USB port. Thus, it is not possible for information to be transmitted
via the USB port. For this reason, the user manual clearly instructs users to disable sleep
mode function on their computer. Please refer to User Manual or Installation Guide for
instructions.
Q. Can data from the Main Unit and / or Communications Hub be transferred to the
PC when PC is switched off?
A. No. In all circumstances, to transfer weather data (whether upload or download), the
PC must be switched on.
i. For Multi-day Weather Stations (I300, I600, I900) which download weather
information to be displayed on a unit, it is recommended to connect USB
Communications Hub to USB port of PC continuously to allow seamless weather
information download.
ii. For Weather Stations (RMS300, RMS600, EMS100, WMR100N, WMR200,
WMRS200) which upload information collected via sensors to the PC, the PC must be
switched on only when user wishes to upload the information. The unit can continuously
work and display the collected information on the main unit.
Q. How long does data transfer normally take?
A. The amount of time required to transfer the data varies from model to model.
i. For Multi-day Weather Stations that download collected weather data and transfer
it from PC to Main Unit, approximately 30 minutes daily connection to computer is
sufficient to receive current weather data.
ii. For Weather Stations that can only upload information to PC, approximately 1 minute
connection to computer is sufficient to receive current weather data.
iii. For WMR200, the time required depends on the amount of weather data stored in memory.
Q. How can computer run better with the OS Weather Program?
A. By doing Windows update, your system will be updated with new Windows features,
device drivers, and system updates available from Microsoft. It is generally recommended
to this on a regular basis. To do so:
