  2. Select Start > Vaisala > BL-View > BL-View.
  3. In BL-View, select System > Settings > Devices.

    Device name
    Type a descriptive name for the ceilometer, for example CL61 Helsinki.

    Type the station number that consists of the WMO block number (2 digits) and the station number (3 digits).
