Lizard Setup Software
Lizard Setup Software is used to modify the software parameters and
operation of the MAWS weather station. With the Lizard software you
can create or modify a setup file that informs MAWS how to operate.
Creating a setup with Lizard Setup Software consists of three stages.
First, you define an assembly for the MAWS weather station. Then
you define the necessary measurements and the calculations derived
from them. Finally, you define reports and log groups from the
measurement results.
The setup file on your PC is finally generated, in other words,
converted into a format that MAWS understands, and then transferred
into MAWS and taken into use.
MAWS Terminal
MAWS Terminal is the terminal software for working with MAWS
Automatic Weather Stations. MAWS stations measure weather data
and store it in log files. With the MAWS terminal software, you can
download these files to your PC and view them.
When you start using MAWS, the first thing you need to do is to
define what weather parameters you want to measure and at what
frequency. You can do this by uploading a configuration file from
your PC to the MAWS.
MAWS Terminal is also used for setting the station specific
parameters such as the station name, altitude, pressure sensor height,
and sensor specific calibration coefficients. In addition, the date and
time can be set using the easy-to-use MAWS Station Settings
template.
After you have uploaded the configuration files to the MAWS, you
can browse the MAWS weather data files by downloading them from
the MAWS to your PC. You can browse them in MAWS Terminal or
in other applications. You can define several download settings such
as where you want to save the downloaded files and what operations
the program performs automatically at each download.
