PAGING WEATHER DATA USING THE WEATHERLINK TOOLBOX™
Davis Instruments has developed additional tools to communicate weather data to many standard paging
systems. Using the WeatherLink data logger and the WeatherLink Toolbox software package (#7802),
a user can send messages to one or many pagers, reporting either current conditions, or specially set
alarms. The current weather is reported according to a set schedule set by the program’s operator. The
alarms trigger an automatic page when the limits are reached.
The software supports three types of page, alphanumeric, numeric, and an audible tone. The
alphanumeric version prints the type of weather condition, followed by the current value. The numeric
pager uses a pre-defined numeric code to signal whether the page is for a routine update or an alarm
condition, and a code for each weather parameter. The audible tone option will sound an alarm on a
regular phone when the specified alarm is reached.
There are certain hardware and software requirements for the Toolbox software to operate. They
include:
• Windows 95/98 or Windows NT 4.0
• Any of the following Davis Instruments weather stations: Weather Monitor II, Weather Wizard II,
II-S or III, Perception, or GroWeather
• WeatherLink/Data Logger
• Modem
