Why is the LED blinking on the main Weather Display
page?
Try clicking on it and or go to "view, all time records to date". There you will see another
blinking LED with a label, or you might end up on the weather warning setup page, and
there will be a blinking led there too (if a weather warning had been sent) That should
answer your question.
The "Alarm" is flashing. What do I do now?
When a warning threshold is reached, the LED next to the COM port status will flash. Click
the flashing red LED, and then click Reset Alarm LEDs. Reset the alarm threshold(s) if
you like. Click OK.
I've installed Weather Display on a new computer. How do I
get a new registration code?
Just ask! Send a request to Brian following the procedure described in the Register /
Purchase help page. If you wish to keep all your old data, you will need to copy wdisplay.ini
from c:\windows as well as all the files and sub-folders (like data files, log files and
webfiles). You will also need to export wdisplayftp.ini from the registry to a file (search for
it, and you may have to do search again to find the correct entry) New: go action, back up
registry entry now, then that creates the wdisplayftp.reg file in the folder databackup. Copy
that to the new pc, and double click it there to load into the new registry (but it assumes
default user)
Manually enter weather observations
Click on "Input daily weather" in the menu bar. You can select the icon to show on the web
page monthly data. Click update for first time to create the icons You can enter text - treat
like a weather diary - this will be in weather emails as well, but not on the main screen. You
can also enter snow fall observations here.
Make changes to the default Web page
Weather Display Web pages are created from three files: datahtm0.txt, datahtm2.txt and
datahtm3.txt. If you know HTML, you can alter datahtm2.txt , and Weather Display will
keep the changes. But first you must go to "Setup, control panel | FTP / Internet ... | Web
Files", and click the box labeled "Let me manage the datahtm2.txt file". Also, you can add of
course add email link, images and web links on this same page. See also Creating a
Weather Web Page for more information.
Configure Sunrise and Moonrise for your location
Follow the procedures described in the Entering Location Data help page. Only enter
degrees, and minutes (i.e no decimal places). For southern hemisphere, the latitude is a
negative number. (The latitude is the lines parallel to the equator.) For places West of GMT
(i.e England), the longitude needs to be negative. For some time zones, you may need to use
the "fine tunes" to get the rise and set times for your location to be accurate.
