Warning to a pager
You can send an e-mail message to a pager with the information contained in the subject of
the e-mail message.
There are a few settings here (bottom left hand corner) to note:
• €If going to a numeric pager, then you need to select the e-mail to a numeric pager
check box, so no special characters (like % and
o
C) are included. You also need to type
the e-mail address to of the numeric pager. If you don’t want anything to appear in the
body of the e-mail message, then selec the Use email subject line only for message
check box. This is needed for a SMS e-mail service. If your station name is too long to fit
in the SMS limited space, then enter a new shorter station name.
• €If you have a list of e-mail addresses for the weather report e-mail message (see later in
this help, and see under FTP setup, weather report/reboot), and you want to send the
same people a weather warning e-mail message, click on import list from weather report
list.
Execute a program on a warning condition
You can have any other .exe or .bat file on your computer run at the same time. Just include
the full path name.
Play a sound file on a warning condition
If you want a sound to be played when a weather warning event has occurred, then just
name a .wav file (either record one, or use a existing sound file (i.e a .wav file ) on your PC,
but you need to rename the sounds, and have them located where weather display is
installed (c:\wdisplay is the default location).
The sound file names you need to have are:
• €rainin6hourswarning.wav -- For the rain in 6 hours threshold being exceeded.
• €rainin1hourwarning.wav -- For the rain in 1 hour threshold being exceeded.
• €pressurechangewarning.wav -- For the pressure change in 1 hour being exceeded.
• €maxavwindspeedwarning.wav -- For the maximum average windspeed threshold being
exceeded.
• €lowavwindspeedwarning.wav -- If the threshold is not zero, then this warning will be
activated when the average windspeed goes below the setting you have chosen.
