Tapping the temperature indication will resize it. Holding it pressed down will make it go full screen. Tapping the atmospheric pressure indication will show the atmospheric pressure graph. For best data representation it is recommended to set the current altitude as it adjusts the scale of the graph. Tapping the name of the sensor will show the corresponding temperature and relative humidity graphs. The time period shown can be modified with the options under the graphs, these options are one day, one week or one month. The next row of icons are for navigating the data – arrow keys allow shifting to the next or previous time period that is currently selected and the middle icon opens up a calendar where it is possible to quickly navigate to a particular date, week or month.

In this menu it is possible to also set up a fixed brightness in case it is preferred. Two background colors are also available – black and white – which can be chosen to suit your personal preferences. Exporting the data Temperature, relative humidity and atmospheric pressure measurements are automatically saved in the device where they are sorted by year, month, date and the name of the sensor. The base station has enough memory to save data for more than a decade, even if no data exports are made. The graphs can be saved as images by tapping . Data and images are accessible when device is connected to a PC using USB cable. Data is saved in *.csv format, which can be opened by most spreadsheet software (including Microsoft Excel). Advanced Advanced features let you access the terminal to see the raw data about incoming signals – it displays the sensor ID, relative humidity and temperature measurement, sensor battery voltage, signal strength and time of received signal. Channel menu allows you to choose from available radio channels for your device. In order to know which one is best a channel test can be performed – it will show which one has the largest amount of activity and thus choosing the least active radio channel can give you a more reliable data stream. The test takes 20 minutes to complete on Aranet MINI during which no data from sensors will be received!
