Principle

The compact Cobra4 "Weather" multisensor can be employed as a simple means to set up a weather station, which can then be used to explain the relationship between air pressure, humidity, temperature, and light intensity. The measurement combination of a Cobra4 Mobile-Link and a "Weather" multisensor enables single or continuous measurements of these weather parameters. In the case of a single measurement, the measured value is read off the display and noted. In the case of continuous measurements, the values are stored on an SD card and can then be viewed and analysed with the software "measure Cobra4".
