  5. Station Setup • Anemometer • Sensor should be 33 above ground • Outdoor Temperature Sensor • Shielded from direct radiation • Sensor should be 5 feet above ground • Rain Gauge • Approximately 2 feet above ground • Barometer

  6. Connect to Internet • Serial port or USB port connection • Software compatible
