This module adds specialized reports for farmers, growers, and turf managers. This module lets you view reports such as evapotranspiration and leaf wetness hours and lets you enter thresholds and start and end dates to better customize your reporting tools.The Agricultural/Turf Management Module also allows you to import files from GroWeatherLink. This may require you to upgrade your station and software. The Agricultural/Turf Management Module requires WeatherLink software to be installed first and the WeatherLink Software is not compatible with GroWeather Stations.Note: This module is compatible with versions of WeatherLink for Windows version 5.5 or above. This module is not available with WeatherLink for Mac (# 6520, 7855).Software Speci f icat ionsSof tware System RequirementsFor versions 5.7 or earlier, computer running Windows 95, 98, 98SE, ME, NT4.0, 2000, XP. For versions 5.8 or later, computer running Windows™ 98 SE, Windows 2000, XP or Vista with Microsoft .NET 2.0 framework. The amount of disk space necessary for the data files depends on the archive interval. Each archive record in the database is 88 bytes. Every day, the database adds an additional two records totalling 176 bytes that store daily summary information. A database containing data stored at a 30-minute archive interval requires 132 KB of disk space per month. The file size changes in a linear fashion depending on the archive interval. For example, data stored at a one-minute interval requires approximately 3.9 MB a month while the data stored at a two-hour interval requires approximately 33 KB a month.Sof tware Data D isplay Opt ionsThe Agriculture and Turf Management module adds the following reports to the reports currently available in the WeatherLink Software:Note: Some of the weather reports listed below require optional sensors.Reports:Degree-Days . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
