Tuono,
You'll have to do a couple of things.
1.) Write the script that will download your data. It should look something like this...
download,http://weather.cod.edu/digatmos/sao/@Y@ ... DZ@HHZ.dat
where: @YYZ=Year, @MMZ=Month, @DDZ = Day, and @HHZ = Hour
The first part of the script retrieves the data and the second part stores it on your harddrive. In this example, I've given you the location on MY harddrive where data is stored "d:\daws\data\etc..., but you should change this to suit your own needs.
Note: You can change the download location as well, if you like, and you can also change the order of the "time tokens".
Save this script with the name of your choice but be sure that the extension is ".dsf"
2.) You need to open the script scheduler and enter the time when you want this data to be retrieved. It should look something like...
**20 scripts/surface.dsf
where the **20 instructs the scheduler to retrieve the data at 20 past the top of the hour and the second part is the location of your script.
Note: The "**20" can be changed to a time of your choosing.
3.) Simply turn the script scheduler on by clicking on the checkbox that says "Enable scheduler". DAWS will then fetch the METAR data for you completely "hands-free".
hth,
Bob
