the 'Base' component of Libre Office (or Apache Open Office).įine Offset weather stations, without solar or UV measurements, store all the observations in easyweather.dat when the EasyWeather software version 6.x is running. It can be read by any software that has ability to connect to such formats e.g. Version (7.y and) 8.z of Easyweather software uses this, a Standard Jet DataBase as used by Microsoft Office. Please note this is not compatible with the 'EasyWeather.dat' reader in Cumulus, that works with EasyWeather software version 6.x. The following are some useful technical links on the EasyWeather format Thanks to Jim Easterbrook for all his work on pulling this data together The weather station's history is stored in 4080 times 16-byte records for models without UV/solar detectors and 3264 times 20-byte records in the 3080/3081 models with the UV/solar detector. This page describes in some detail the data records produced by the various Fine Offset devices (WH1080, WH1081, W-8681, WH3080, WH3081 etc.). Although non-integrated wind measuring and rain measuring sensors using connecting leads should be interchangeable between many models (despite some design variations), the thermonmeter/hygrometer/transmitter unit and console have to be replaced as a pair because of their specific frequencies and protocols. Note that transmission frequencies, and protocols may vary for the same model with a different country of sale, for different dealers (or by how rebadged), and/or by date of manufacture.

Of course, if you are reading this you have probably already switched to Cumulus and found its advantages.įine Offset manuafactured models are sold under various rebadged names and the specification of models will vary with time, so please treat the following table based on their website in 2012 as a rough guide of their models that have PC interfaces:Ĥ outdoor sensors: thermo-hydro transmitter connnected by one flex to wind speed anemonmeter and wind direction vane on a 'T' shaped mounting and with a second connecting flex to a rain tipping bucketĤ outdoor sensors: thermo-hydro transmitter, wind speed anemonmeter, wind direction vane and rain tipping bucketĤ integrated outdoor sensors: thermo-hydro transmitter, wind speed anemonmeter below wind direction vane, and (on top of transmitter) rain tipping bucket The software shipped with the device is EasyWeather (or EasyWeatherPlus for models with solar sensors) and while it peforms its role of reading and storing data from the weather station, it is quite limiting and inflexible. Many of the entry level weather stations can be classified as "EasyWeather" or "FineOffset" they are rebadged or generic models of the device produced by FineOffSet Electronics 2.6 Usage of easyweather.dat fields for Cumulus input of latest record:.2.5 Station configuration screen: Using 'EasyWeather.dat' file as current station type.
