6. Insert the USB - Mini B connector on the USB connector of the USB data
logger. The connection between the console and the computer can be
extended up to 16’ (5 m) using a USB-to-USB connector cable.
Note: Do not attempt to use more than a 16’ extension cable, or the data logger may have diffi-
culty communicating with the computer.
7. Check the baud rate settings on the console.
Note: The default value for the baud rate setting is 19200. If you have a Weather Envoy, this
value should remain the same in the WeatherLink software.
To display the baud rate settings screen on a console:
Note: The baud rate settings screen displays only if the data logger has been installed.
• Enter the console Setup Mode by pressing and holding DONE, then pressing
the down arrow (-).
• Use the BAR and DONE to scroll to the Baud Rate settings screen:
The baud rate setting on the console must be same as that set in the WeatherLink
software. Use the up (+) and down (-) arrows to change the baud rate setting, if
needed. Press and hold DONE to return the console to the current weather mode.
• Use the fastest baud rate your modem can handle. 19200 is the fastest baud
rate available and is the default setting on the console.
• Press DONE when you’ve got the correct baud rate on the console screen.
Note: The data logger does not require a constant connection with a computer to continue log-
ging and storing data. Although the data logger should remain connected to the console
at all times, the data logger only needs to be connected to the computer when data is
being downloaded or when the computer is actively using data from the data logger. The
data logger and console can be disconnected from the computer if the console is placed
in a location where the data logger cable cannot reach. However, WeatherLink’s bulletin,
summary, or other real-time window displays are only accessible if the console is
attached to the computer.
