6 Other Console Functions
6.1 Historical data storage
The console can record historical weather data when an appropriate microSD
card is inserted in the slot available for this purpose. This is an optional
feature so there will be no problem if you do not install a card.
If you wish to install a card you should use a microSD card. Capacity of this
card is not critical, nor is its “speed class.” Historical data will be written less
often than once a minute, and this is why speed is not critical. While there is
no minimum card size, you can take some guidance from the fact that a 1 GB
card can store in excess of 10 years’ worth of recorded data.
The card should be formatted in MS-DOS FAT format before inserting it in
the slot; Most cards come pre-formatted this way.
Insert the card and press with your finger until you feel a slight “click.” A
correctly installed card will be almost flush with the console housing,
protruding by one or two finger nail thicknesses.
6.2 Sensor identification
Most customers will only have one indoor, and one outdoor sensor and the
following will be largely irrelevant. For those customers that have more than
one, you can identify which sensor the console has “registered” by looking in
the rectangle for “Indoor” temperature and humidity, respectively “Outdoor”
temperature and humidity (if “Feels Like” is displayed, press the TEMP
button once to display outdoor temperature).
In the respective indoor and outdoor sections, you will find a text such as “ID:
0x65” (it will be different for indoor and outdoor). The values after “0x” are
hexadecimal representations of the sensor type registered.
