1) Using your favorite plain text editor, create the a text file named "FWI_Input_Values.txt" where your Cumulus installation resides. (In my case is the C:\Cumulus folder)
Code: Select all
<#day>/<#month>/<#year> ; <#temp> ; <#hum> ; <#wspeed> ; <#rfall>
3) Then, in a blank field, using the "Browse" button to navigate to C:\Cumulus folder:
4) Pick the file "FWI_Input_Values.txt":
5) In the blank box on the right, write the file name where Cumulus will writing the formatted data when parsing (My FWI Calc resides in the c:\FWI folder, So I decided name it "FWI_Output_Values.txt"):
Don't forget tick the "Process?" and "Realtime?" options!
Now you can press the "OK" button to save your changes in C:\Cumulus.
6) Open your FWI Calc program, open: Menu > FWI Setup menu.
In the section 3) (I honestly assume that you have already configured the "Station Settings" and "Initial FWI / Environment" settings), pick the data file "FWI_Output_Values.txt":
Be sure to select "; Semi Colon" from the pull down list.
7) Select your engineering units at the same units used in Cumulus (Our station is using Metrics units):
8) Press the "Check" button in the upper right; If everything was OK, you will get the "SETTINGS APPEAR VALID!" in the right lower message box:
9) Now press the "OK" button.
This setups will avoid the "date/time format" and the "list separators" issues, and should work in almost any FWI Calc + Cumulus setup.
Sorry for my lack of English, I hope this will help someone... ;)
