Loading a script and setup into Satlink 3 and XLink 500¶
If you have script and setup files, they may be easily loaded into Satlink 3 and XLink 500 using LinkComm.
Load existing setup and script into XLink¶
- Save these two files on your PC:
- Run LinkComm
- Choose Station Type XLink 500
- If you have a XLink handy, connect to it (please see manual for connecting instructions)
- If not, Click Work offline.
- 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 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.
- 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.
