Abstract

This document describes the installation and operation of the GRUAN Monitor MW41 (GM41) software tool release 0.2.2. The GM41 tool displays decoded Xdata protocol frames of several instruments connected to the RS41 in a web browser. The purpose of GM41 is to verify that certain connected instruments are working properly while sounding preparation and data acquisition during laboratory experiments, and that the recorded data are within expected limits. GM41 is compatible with MicrosoftWindows 7 or 10 and the Vaisala MW41 sounding software 2.6 to 2.15. Furthermore the connection of additional sensors with Xdata interface and protocol to the Vaisala RS41 type radiosondes is described as well.
