3.5.12 Displaying Neighborhood Weather Net Sensor Data
You can use the Neighborhood Weather Net (NWN) interface to show NWN sensor data on your
maps. NWN provides non-storm related data, such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind
direction, and barometric pressure.
Setting Up Locations to Receive Data
1. Select Setup > Data > Advanced > NWN Interface to open
the NWN Locations menu. All of the values in the upper
section (except for User Defined Text) are updated
automatically if you have a NWN system. Otherwise, you
must change them manually.
The Pull-down list contains all of the locations you have
already set up. Select Delete Place to remove the
displayed location from the list. Select Add Place to add
a new location.
Temperature displays the latest recorded temperature, in
degrees Fahrenheit.
Wind displays the wind direction and force, in miles per
hour.
Pressure displays the amount of barometric pressure,
measured in millibars.
Humidity, which is measured in percentages, displays the amount of moisture that the air
contains compared to how much it could hold at a given temperature. A figure of 100%
means that the air has become saturated.
Daily Rainfall displays the amount of rainfall within the last 24 hours. The daily rainfall
sensor is zeroed every day at midnight.
Solar Radiation displays the total electromagnetic radiation emitted by the sun.
User Defined Text is the user-specified text that appears at the specified latitude and
longitude coordinates.
Sensor ID must correspond to the number used in the NWN program.
Show Level indicates the maximum range at which the sensor data appears on the map.
Latitude and Longitude specify where the text will appear. It will always appear at these
coordinates regardless of where you go on your maps.
Add Place lets you create a new location.
Delete Place removes the currently displayed location.
