Manual MWS 6
MWS 6 Weather Station has been designed for measuring the most important
weather parameters such as temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, wind
directionandwindspeed,optionallysolarenergy,UV-radiation,lightintensityand
precipitation.
All parameters can be displayed graphically, digitally or as an "instrument".
There is also a statistics and a history function.
Setting up the weather station is easy:
Mount the weather station on a 1 " pipe. Orient the North-marker to North and
clampMWS 6 inplace (Please use the wallclamp enclosed.).Take care that thepipe
is mounted as perpendicularly as possible, otherwise the windvane will not work
properly and will preferably rotate in one direction.
Another important note !!!
The wind sensors of MWS 6 weather station are very sensitive and can
easilybedestroyed.Thereforedokeepthepackingofyourweatherstation.
Ifyouwanttoshipyourweatherstationlater,thispackingguaranteesthat
the weather station is protected from damage!!
If a transport damage is caused by insufficient packing, we are not liable
for any warranty claims!!!!
Please ask for a quotation of an original packing if it is no longer available
to you.
Theweatherstationmustbesetupataplacewhichisexposedtowindandsunshine,
becauseotherwisewinddirection,windspeedand solar energy cannot bemeasured
correctly.
(Please see "Directions of Deutscher Wetterdienst")
Connect the enclosed cable as follows:
Connect the 9pole connector to a free serial interface of your PC (COM1 or COM2
under the Windows-version COM3 or COM4 as well).
Plug the power supply into a power outlet 230V / 50Hz.
Additional sensors are connected at the 8-pole connector of MWS 6. In case you use
more than one additional sensor, you need the collector for connecting additional
sensors. It is connected to MWS 6 itself and ranges the connected sensors.
The 5-pole connector is plugged into MWS 6. The weather station is ready for use
now.
Pleasenotethatyoumustinanycaseusethepowersupplieswhichwehave
provided or which are technically identical with your MWS 6 weather
station. Nominal value must be between 10 V and 13V DC voltage; it must
be possible to apply 200 mA at least. Please note also that all the power
supplies we provide are only made for use in dry rooms.

When you have set up the hardware, you install the software and start the unit.
InserttheInstallationdiskintoyourfloppydriveandenter"setup".Thenyoufollow
the instructions of the Installation routine.
A MWS 6 directory is established for the copy of MWS 6-software.
(UndertheWindows-versionthisdirectoryiscalledWMWS6.Aprogramgroupand
an icon for the weather station are also created here.)
Bystandardthesoftwareisconfiguredfor use of the weatherstationonCOM2with
a 5 minutes-storage interval (BAUD-Rate 9600). For changing these settings, you
start the "MWSSET.EXE" program.
CAUTION:IfyouchangedtheBAUDratewithMWS6SET.EXE,youneedtocahnge
the BAUD rate of the MWS6 via terminalprogram (see also Microprocessor Control
Parameters).
Nowyoustartthesoftwarebyentering"start"(UnderWindowsyoudouble-clickthe
program icon).
Data recording is started here. Data are now written to your harddisk in the set
storage interval. If you quit your software and restart it later, the software fills the
gaps with blanks (Dummy) so that the time axis is not moved. A new data file is
automatically created every month. It is made up of Month_Year and file extension
.mws.
E.g.: October 1998 : 10_98.mws .
Ifthesoftwareisnotstarted,theremaybeafaultydatafileonyourharddiskorthere
is not enough storage available. The program is broken off then.
If the software finds a faulty data file, the program brings a message. In this case,
you break off with "j" and delete the faulty file.
NevereditthedatafilesofMWS6(extension.MWS).Mosteditorscannotdeal
with files of that size. Even if these files are only slightly changed, it may
happen that the data can no longer be interpreted!
(For more details on the software components see "Software").
