Hi to everyone, has been a while since I've posted but am in need of some help with regards to the WeatherLink software.
I'm thinking about purchasing this software in the near future and have some questions to pose to you all.
I only have Mac computers so I'll have to buy the Weatherlink for Mac software, is there any major difference between the windows version i've been reading about?
Can I use WeatherLink and the LightSoft Weather Center (i think that's what it's called) at the same time, to view my data, etc. as I was hoping to upload to WeatherUnderground but have found that the WeatherLink for Mac software doesn't support upload to WU so was wondering whether they can both run at the same time, WeatherLink for the main purpose of viewing and storing the data and LWC just for upload to WU.
When browsing records (like in this pic i found online:
http://www.marineometeo.it/doc/tabulato-WLINK-perditasegnale.jpg) I see there is a column for "Hi Speed" which is obviously the maximum wind gust in the 5 minute interval used in this example, but under where it says "Wind Speed" is that the average wind speed during the 5 minute interval or just the raw wind recording at the time of the observation?
And what recording archiving schedule should i set the data logger to. I was thinking either 1 or 5 minutes. I'd probably go with 5 minutes, however that will depend on the answer to the "Wind Speed" question I posed earlier. If the "Wind Speed" mentioned is just a raw reading then I will set the data logger to 1 minute inverts and just average all the 1 minute gusts to give me an idea of the average wind speed over the 10 minute period. I am aware that the data logger can only hold about 2560 records so 42 hours with 1 minute intervals and 8 days with 5 minute intervals but I would be downloading the data daily anyway so 1 minute intervals wouldn't bother me to much.
