Before your weather station data can be used by the Namibia Weather Network (NAMWN), you must configure your chosen weather station software to upload data in a format our server can read. Currently we can process data from WeatherLink, Weather Display, and Virtual Weather Station. Please see the appropriate section below on how to configure your software. Once you have completed these steps, please let us know so we can add you to the network. If you run into problems, feel free to contact us.
WeatherLink Configuration
Please set the upload for the data page to every 5 minutes.
Weather Display Configuration
If you are doing real-time update using clientraw.txt (such as for Weather-Display Live) or one of the AJAX templates, no additional configuration is required. Simply let us know you want to be part of the network and we will take it from there. Your clientraw.txt should be uploaded every 5 minutes or less.
If you are NOT already using clientraw.txt, save the file stickertags.txt in your Weather Display webfiles sub-directory. Set Weather Display to upload the file every 5 minutes. Once you do, please let us know the name of the file you are uploading.
Virtual Weather Station Configuration
At the bottom of the window, set the update time to 5 minutes. Click Update and Upload Files to Internet.
You should be able to see your file in action at www.yourweatherwebsite.com/VWS_stickertags.htm.
