6 Communication
The meteorological data can control the Vetus Weatherstation in different ways:
• Via a communication port, when data is supplied by a Vetus WSD802 windsensor.
This RS232/RS422 signal is connected to the serial port on the PC. The data string
generally consists of a number of ASCII characters, which are sent in a specific for-
mat.
• Via a network, in which case the weatherstation downloads data from the file server.
This can be either a Microsoft or a Novell Netware network.
