110-WS-16 Modular Weather Station
Additional sensor options include, water or soil temperature, rain gauge upgrade, evaporation, soil
moisture, water level, gas detection, and others. The unique modular system design provides simple
menu selections for adding or replacing sensors. The 110-WS-16D Data Acquisition Module features
nonvolatile memory, selectable averaging intervals, 12 bit analog conversion, 0.1% F.S. accuracy,
two alarm outputs, & optional modem communications.
The WS-16 is supplied with an attractive desktop data acquisition module with a memory capacity of
640KB RAM. The standard system includes a 120Vac power adaptor and RS232 serial port for
connection to a personal computer. For outdoor or remote applications, two enclosure options are
available. One is for sites with AC power and the other utilizes a solar panel. Both options include a
NEMA-4X enclosure and rechargeable battery to allow continued operation in the event of power
failure. Data can be viewed using Windows Based Graphical Display Software. A one page real-time
text display, an ASCII row and column format, or ALOHA format may be selected. A menu is provided
for setting the date and time, alarms, logging interval, etc. Optional graphical display software is
available for viewing real-time and historical data charts and graphs.

110-WS-16STR Graphical Display Software
The Model 110-WS-16STR Graphical Display Software
is a Windows software program for data logger
applications. It communicates with WS-16 data loggers for
monitoring and display of sensors and devices. WS16STR includes the graphical design and terminal
software runtime interface in one package.
There are no limits on the number of loggers or sensor
data points you can set or use. The standard Windows
interface and setup tools make it easy to design new
screens with graphs and indicators for your application.
Data that has been stored in the WS-16 can be
downloaded and the historical trend graph charts can be
analyzed for daily or monthly highs and lows. With the
optional HTML output, screens can be sent to a shared
network drive on a timed basis, allowing anyone to view
the various pages using an internet browser.
Features include:
• Real-time graphical software
• Powerful data presentation
• Supports real-time and stored archived data
• Built-in terminal program, direct connect and dial-up
• Scheduled automatic downloading
• Can display minimum, maximum, averages, graphs,
alarms, time of min-max, etc.
• Calculated outputs, e.g. albedo, daily evaporation, delta
temperature, etc.
• Your own images can be added
• Can be customized for special applications
• All types of graphs, line, bar, area, 3-D
• Full color and font support
• Can easily be set-up and customized with a little typing
and a few clicks of the mouse
System requirements:
• Runs on Windows 98/ME/XP/NT/2000
• Requires a minimum of 32MB RAM
• For use with the WS-16 Data Logger
