Weather Display Setup

 

The data transfer between Weather Display and AAG_WeatherCenter is based on a data table (HTML format) which is created every time Weather Display creates the files to be uploaded to a web site.

 

This data table has a specific format which is defined by template AAG_WeatherCenterWD.htx and it is present in the AAG_WeatherCenter directory.

 

The following procedure outlines the steps required by Virtual Weather Display  to activate the creation of this data table and to make AAG_WeatherCenter aware of its existence.
