Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Observe and analyze the weather just outside the front door on a PC with this PC interface receiver from La Crosse Technology. Designed for use in conjunction with the WS-2010 weather station, the interface receiver collects weather data measured and sent by the weather station’s wireless outdoor sensors. The interface receiver offers storage for several days of weather data when disconnected from a PC. By connecting the interface receiver to a computer’s 9-pin serial port, the user can access the PC interface software and the stored data to create graphs, charts and execute other weather analysis and documentation tasks. The interface software is compatible for computers with Windows 95/98/NT operating systems; software for more current operating systems is available on La Crosse Technology’s website. For successful use of the PC interface, the computer should have a minimum of 16 MB RAM free, 32 MB for NT systems. The PC interface necessitates the ownership of a WS-2010 weather station, remote sensors, and compatible PC. Additionally, the separate purchase of two AA batteries is required to power the receiver. The PC interface receiver measures 4 inches long by 2-4/5 inches wide by 1 inch high.

Software is very 1990s,

This review is from: La Crosse Technology WS-2010-13 PC Interface for use with WS-2010 (Kitchen)
The software basically is awful. The part that is supposed to FTP to a website crashed my XP computer repeatedly despite reinstalls. Emails and calls to the company went unanswered.
I interface reminded me of an old DOS based program in its look and limitations. I returned the part and software after several days.

Works great,

This review is from: La Crosse Technology WS-2010-13 PC Interface for use with WS-2010 (Kitchen)
The current SW version works fine on Win XP SP 3. You can download the latest from the company web site.
The first screen is a bit DOS like, but once you get started it works fine. The interface unit is simple to work. You just put in the two AAs and let it run for 6 min. Download the software and plug the interface into your serial port. Simple to go from there. Lots of reports and graphs. Works fine. Great deal for the price.
