WeatherLinkIPTM for Vantage Pro and Vantage Pro2 At Makati City Hall

A newly installed weather link station at the helipad of the Makati City Hall. This new gadget was added to record weather forecasts for the benefits of the city. It can measure the rainfall, detects wind strength, the UV rays, and the temperature of the area from where it is located. It gives feed back to the console so that we can read it and make a possible forecast today and to the next 24 or 48 hours. Serving Makati at its BEST. This was installed last March 22, 2011 as witnessed by Makati City Command Control, Communication Center (C3) personnel, supervisors, Ralgo personnel and UDD personnel.

WeatherLinkIPTM for Vantage Pro and Vantage Pro2™ consists of our WeatherLink software and a specialized data logger that connects to a Vantage Pro or Vantage Pro2 console or Weather Envoy to an ethernet connection. The software and data logger transfer your Vantage Pro or Vantage Pro2 weather data to your computer, allowing you to create a permanent weather database.


Once stored in the database, your weather information can be used to generate a wide variety of reports and graphical displays. In addition, the WeatherLinkIP data logger automatically uploads your console or Envoy information to a web server provided by Davis Instruments that lets you see your weather data via the Internet without having to set up your own web page.

Character Entities

Character Entities

Some characters have a special meaning in HTML, like the less than sign (<) that defines the start of an HTML tag. If we want the browser to actually display these characters we must insert character entities in the HTML source.

A character entity has three parts: an ampersand (&), an entity name or a # and an entity number, and finally a semicolon (;).

To display a less than sign in an HTML document we must write: &lt; or &#60;

The advantage of using a name instead of a number is that a name is easier to remember. The disadvantage is that not all browsers support the newest entity names, while the support for entity numbers is very good in almost all browsers.

Note that the entities are case sensitive.

Non-breaking Space

The most common character entity in HTML is the non-breaking space.

Normally HTML will truncate spaces in your text. If you write 10 spaces in your text HTML will remove 9 of them. To add spaces to your text, use the &nbsp; character entity.
