Configuration - BLVIEW - CL31 - CL51

BL-View is connected to a ceilometer through a serial line, TCP/IP, or UDP connection.

When the BL-View installation is complete, the software starts to receive and analyze data continuously even when the graphical user interface is not open.

Before using BL-View to view and analyze live data from the ceilometer:

1. Make sure that the ceilometer is connected to a computer.

   For more information, see Vaisala Ceilometer CL31 User Guide and Vaisala Ceilometer CL51 User Guide.

2. Check that the ceilometer settings are correctly configured.
