Loading a script and setup into |short_port_name|
#########################################################

If you have script and setup files, they may be easily loaded into |short_port_name| using LinkComm.

- `LinkComm for Windows download <|link_linkcomm_for_win|>`_

Load existing setup and script into XLink
*******************************************

- Save these two files on your PC:
    - :download:`dew point setup<./setup_script/dew_point_setup.txt>`
    - :download:`dew point script<./setup_script/dew_point.py>`

- Run LinkComm

------------

    |LinkCommSL3Connect|

- Choose Station Type XLink 500

- If you have a XLink handy, connect to it (please see `manual for connecting instructions <|link_XLink_manual|>`_)
- If not, Click Work offline.

------------

    |LinkCommImportSetup|

- LinkComm -> Import Setup
- Choose the dew point setup file that you just downloaded
- Choose the script file that you just downloaded
- If you are connected to a XLink, send the new setup to XLink
- All done!


Making minor modifications to the script
*******************************************

The `dew point script file provided <./setup_script/dew_point.py>`_ uses the following equation
::

    dp = 0.057906 * (log10(rh / 100) / 1.1805) + (at / (at + 238.3))
    dp = dp * 238.3 / (1 - dp)  # Formula for Dew point temperature

What if a minor change was needed to that equation?  LinkComm's Script tab may be used to make changes.

    |LinkCommScriptMod|

- Use the editor in the Script tab to make the changes
- After making the changes, press Test Script
    - You should be connected to XLink otherwise the script will not get tested!
    - Test Script will send the modified script to XLink and test it out.
    - LinkComm will let you know if the script worked.
