 Download [[http://diffractionlimited.com/product/boltwood-cloud-sensor-ii/| Clarity II]] for the Boltwood II Weather Station (under Downloads tab). When starting the software it may complain about a missing file, MCI32.ocx. This used to be included in older versions of Windows, but not in the current version of Windows 10. If you need it you can get a copy from the [[http://www.diffractionlimited.com/forum/forums/boltwood-cloud-sensors.9/| Clarity II Support Forum]] (look for a thread titled Clarity II and Windows 10 - missing file). Put the MCI32.ocx file in the C:/Windows/SysWOW64 folder.

+                    <td class="telemlabel">Focus:</td>

+Various asp files plus tiddler files are attached in {{wiki:ACP.tar}}
 Finally, use copy script (in rsync directory) with crontab to rsync files, e.g., every 5 minutes?
