Before your weather station data can be used by the
Nordic Weather Network
(NWN), you must configure your choosen weather station software to upload data in a format our server can read.
Currently we can process data from following softwares: WeatherLink, Weather Display, Cumulus,Virtual Weather Station, WUHU and data from following datafiles/sources: Wunderground, swedweather.com.
Please see the appropriate section below on how to configure your software.
NWN can't provide help with setting up your equipment, only NWN-related support, sorry.
Once you have completed these steps, please let us know
so we can add you to the network.
WeatherLink Configuration
Save this code to \program files\weatherlink\[stationname]\templates as WL_stickertags.htx.
Open S)etup, Internet Settings dialog. For the configuration you're using to FTP Weatherlink html file(s), press the Configure button.
In the Data Upload Profile, press Select Template Files, then use ADD button to select the WL_stickertags.htx file, and press Open.
The WL_stickertags.htx file should now appear in the Weather Template Files for Data Upload dialog. Press OK., and press OK on the Data Upload Profile, then OK on the Internet Settings dialog. The WL_stickertags.htx file will be uploaded at your next update cycle with a filetype as specified in the Data Upload Profile.
Please set the upload for the data page to every 5 minutes. The following code is one long line, copy it and paste it into WL_stickertags.htx (in notepad) to create your template file.
<!--stationTime-->,<!--stationDate-->,<!--outsideTemp-->,<!--outsideHeatIndex-->,<!--windChill-->,<!--outsideHumidity-->,
<!--outsideDewPt-->,<!--barometer-->,<!--BarTrend-->,<!--windSpeed-->,<!--windDirection-->,<!--dailyRain-->,<!--windSpeed-->,
<!--rainRate-->,<!--wind10Avg-->,<!--hiWindSpeed-->,<!--lowWindChill-->,<!--hiHeatindex-->,<!--monthlyRain-->,<!--totalRain-->,
<!--hiOutsideTemp-->,<!--lowOutsideTemp-->
Weather Display Configuration
If you are doing real-time update using clientraw.txt (such as for Weather-Display Live)
or one of the AJAX templates, no additional configuration is required.
Simply let us know you want to be part of the network and we will take it from there.
Your clientraw.txt should be uploaded every 5 minutes or less.
Cumulus Configuration
If you are doing real-time update using realtime.txt, no additional configuration is required.
Simply let us know you want to be part of the network and we will take it from there.
Your realtime.txt should be uploaded every 5 minutes or less.
swedweather.com-datafile Configuration
Only needed is you upload the datafile for swedweather.com to your server. No other actions needed.
Wunderground Configuration
Only needed is you send data to Wunderground. No other actions needed.
Virtual Weather Station Configuration
You can use the following code in a stickertags.htx file in the \vws\root, or \vws\templates folder, wherever your other .htx files reside.
In VWS, pull down the Internet tab, and click on "HTML Settings". In a empty location on the left (Templates) side of the HTML Settings menu, enter c:\vws\template\VWS_stickertags.htx, editing this as necessary for drive and folder.
On the right (HTML filename) side of the menu, on the same line, enter the file location that you use for your other .htx files, followed by \VWS_stickertags.htm. One example is c:\vws\root:\VWS_stickertags.htm.
Click the On* box to put a check mark in it.
Now in VWS, pull down the Internet menu and click on FTP Upload File (Send) and in an empty row on the LEFT put the same contents as you'd done in the Right side of the HTML Settings dialog. (e.g. "c:\vws\root\VWS_stickertags.htm") .
On the Right side, put "[directory]/VWS_stickertags.htm" where [directory] is the same directory you use for the rest of your website. It would be '/VWS_stickertags.htm' if you're uploading to the document root of your website.
At the bottom of the window, set the update time to 5 minutes. Click Update and Upload Files to Internet.
You should be able to see your file in action at www.yourweatherwebsite.com/VWS_stickertags.htm.
