We have just purchased the Station N96FY but the cd and user instructions are not in the sale.
Do we need the Cd for general use. Can we get the user instructions (D/Load) or other.
Thank You

Re: Station N96FY Info.
check out http://www.foshk.com/ you can download easy weather which you can use to change some station settings but you cant run both easy weather and cumulus together. I thinks most uses just change what they have to and then use cumulus. hope this helps

Re: Station N96FY Info.
Worth adding that you can change the 'relative pressure' using the console (See FAQ via link above), you do not need easyweather software for that, the only critical setting prior to running Cumulus. EDIT - remove outdated reference to EasyWeather version.
Also you can change the station logging interval using a routine written by Steve Loft available on the standard Sandaysoft downloads (see link above) page. It determines the time that information stays available in the console memory, so if you are likely to be away for extended periods you might choose 20 minutes to safely cover a full month storage in the console memory, but otherwise there are advantages in setting both station and Cumulus logging intervals to the same shorter period of say 5 minutes and keeping Cumulus running continuously when you can.

Re: Station N96FY Info.
You need to change it to match a nearby known good pressure reading, e.g. from a Met Office station, thus setting the difference/offset between the 'absolute' and 'relative' pressure. Otherwise, it will be using some random value for the offset and may not be giving the correct sea-level pressure.
