White Instruments 34 Commercial Wharf Boston, MA 02110 800 992-3045 617 742-3045 www.RobertWhite.Com	The remarkable Baroscope is a solid-state recording barometer which displays a 24-hour or a 7-day pressure curve; (4"W x 3 1/8"H) LCD. In the 24-hour display, the pressure scale is expanded by a factor of 4, dramatically detailing the most subtle changes in pressure. At the top of the screen, date, time and pressure in MilliBars are displayed simultaneously. A "Gale Warning" feature allows the Baroscope to trigger an audible alarm if the pressure's drop-rate exceeds a selected value.	See Nav Station Picture top of this page upper right corner

Our newest version of the APT satellite weather collection system which uses the WxToImg software product.

Contact:

msrush@web.de for further information regarding his excellent and competitively priced system.

Phone:

0030 / 6938528310

0041 / 1713414705

The pictures shown to the left can be obtained with the WxToImg and the software is compatible with Ocens Stat2000 APT system. Cover photo for this page is a composite image, one of about 20+ options, including 3D.

The system can also be purchased to run independently from Ocens. The system, purchased this way, is about 2 to 4 times cheaper than most commercially available systems. The fantastic thing about his system is that it outperforms my commercial system (Shown above) by many fold and has a greater deal of flexibility in how the wx imagery is displayed. We don't normally advertise products but this is a case where I think an exception is warranted. We are really impressed with this system and anyone who is interested in this type of technology should give it due consideration.
