• daily.zip:

Complete working copy of daily.exe, a versatile DOS data logger program. Each time this program is run, it adds onto a spreadsheet compatible log file, yesterday's highest and lowest values and the current values of all weather variables. Then it closes itself automatically. All you need to keep a log while you're away is this program, a line in your autoexec.bat file and a timer to turn your computer on for a couple of minutes each day.

Each time you run DAILY, it gathers one "complete record" from the serial data output of an ULTIMETER Weather Station and appends a spreadsheet file with yesterday's final highs and lows, today's interim highs and lows plus current values and the time, date.  DAILY is perfect for maintaining a weather log while you're away on a business trip or vacation.  Simply add a line to your autoexec batch file to run DAILY automatically on startup, then set a mechanical timer to turn your computer on for a minute or two each day.  When you get back home, you'll have a compact spreadsheet with all the key weather data you need.
