+ | ===== Hook Up Graw Radiosonde Equipment To a Computer ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | This assumes that the computer being used has Grawmet 5.10 installed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Ensure that the computer | ||
+ | * For ethernet, leave the ethernet cable plugged in after turning off the computer. | ||
+ | * For mobile hotspot, connect the laptop to the mobile hotspot connection before turning off the computer. | ||
+ | | ||
+ | - If using a mobile hotspot, TURN ON THE MOBILE HOTSPOT BEFORE TURNING ON THE COMPUTER. | ||
+ | - Turn on the computer and log in. | ||
+ | - Once the computer comes on, wait for a minute and turn on the groundstation. | ||
+ | - Wait another minute and then start Grawmet. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Disconnecting the Graw Radiosonde Equipment From a Computer ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Exit Grawmet | ||
+ | - Ensure that the computer is still connected to the Internet before the computer is completely powered down. | ||
+ | * If a mobile hotspot is being used, this means DO NOT DISCONNECT THE MOBILE HOTSPOT UNTIL THE COMPUTER IS COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. | ||
+ | - Shut down the computer. | ||
+ | - Power off the groundstation. | ||
+ | - Disconnect all equipment. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Save Graw Sounding Data ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | There are two options to save the sounding data: the profile data table and the RTS table. For simplicity, it is good to save the data right after the launch, but it can be reloaded later on and saved later. | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Profile Data Table == | ||
+ | Once the sounding or sounding simulation is complete, click on the " | ||

+ | |||
+ | where YYMMDD is the year/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | == RTS Table == | ||
+ | |||
+ | The RTS table is the format that can be read in RAOB. To save this table, click on the " | ||
+ | |||
+ | " | ||
+ | |||
+ | where YYMMDD is the year/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Viewing Radiosonde Data in RAOB===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | == RAOB == | ||
+ | RAOB 6.5 is compatible with the RTS tables. In the old version of Grawmet, the Profile Data Table contained the data that is now in the RTS table. As a result, old Profile Data Tables are readable in RAOB, but not the newer ones. Now, only RTS tables are readable. To view a sounding, click File and Open Sounding, and open one of the RTS tables from / | ||
