Raw data screen
This screen displays the data collected by the software in tabulated form.
Local data includes inside temperature/humidity readings, whereas remote data is outdoor only.
Local data can be edited, remote data cannot.
Editing/deleting data
To edit data, double-click on the row you wish to change. The 'input data' screen will appear. You can edit any value.
You can delete a row of values by right-clicking and choosing the delete function. You will be asked to confirm your choice before deletion occurs.
You can also add a weather icon to the data row, and there is a button bottom left of the window called 'Note'. This enables a comment to be added to the data line.
Exporting data
Data can be exported as comma separated values (CSV) format files for further manipulation in a spreadsheet package of your choice. From the main 'File' menu, choose 'Save to CSV (Spreadsheet)'. You will be asked to choose the date range of the data you wish to export. Then, choose the location and filename and save the file.
Importing Data
Data can be imported from WeatherView 2001 databases or other Skymet databases to enable you to continue your weather records even if they start some time ago. You can find the import functions on the File menu as shown:
Choosing either of the import options will bring up a file choosing dialogue. Find the file you wish to import (usually wxv2001.mdb for WeatherView). When the import starts, you will see a progress bar with the number of records it has to import:
Once it is done, you will see a report, and your data will be visible in the graphs and raw data screen.
Notes
The max/min temperature values are the maximum and minimum during the archive interval. This is of more value during a longer interval - if the temperature dips down during the night and is being logged every hour or two then you will still have the low reading. However if you are archiving data every few minutes the values will follow the main temperature more closely.
A value of '-999' means the data is missing and/or not recorded. This could be for many reasons. In the case of remote data, sites do not always supply every parameter and this is beyond our control.
The second to last column in the raw data log shows the source of the data. In the following example, you can see that some data has come from the DataPak, some has come from the automatic weather station and one line has been edited (a weather icon was added).
If you have a WMR-928, the three extra data channels are also recorded. They can be seen here below, with a thermo-hygro sensor being swapped between the three channels.
