Please note that these gauges use HTML5 'features' and so will not run on older browsers, in particular version of Internet Explorer prior to IE9. Also if you are planning on embedding the code in an existing page, then the whole page should be converted to the HTML5 standard.

2. Copy "gauges-ssT.htm" to your Cumulus web folder.  
2. Copy "realtimegaugesT.txt" to your Cumulus web folder (N.B. The file in the SteelSeries zip is for Cumulus 1, Cumulus MX supplies its own file with this name, but using a slightly different format).  


3. Configure Cumulus Internet|Files to:

4. On main Cumulus screen, in '''Configuration''' menu, pick ''Internet'' option,  '''Files''' tab and complete a row for each file (again this guide is for Cumulus 1, Cumulus MX automatically uploads realtimegauges as a standard file):

(The standard Cumulus template is Cumulus\web\gaugesT.htm, this uses  "Cumulus\web\gauges-ssT.htm" so you can retain the old one).

6. If you have installed to a web folder different from your Cumulus 'root' you will also need to edit the "gauges-ss.html" file, and amend the relative path to your Cumulus "weatherstyle.css" file.  
7. FTP the folders 'css' and 'scripts' and their contents (the files that are contained in the ZIP file) from your PC to the folder where your "gauges-ss.htm" file is located (probably the same folder where all your other Cumulus HTM files are located) on your web server.  


7. Copy (or move) the folders 'css' and 'scripts' and their contents (the files that are contained in the ZIP file) to the folder where your "gauges-ss.htm" file is located (probably the same folder where all your other Cumulus HTM files are located).
8. Test the page.

Are just that, they specify where something is on your web site folder structure relative to the page you are currently displaying. So if you copy these gauges to a folder called 'gauges-ss' in the root of your website, and upload the "realtimegauges.txt" to the root folder; the relative path of the .txt file is one folder back in the path. You would then enter the path as "../realtimegauges.txt". If the .txt file is uploaded to the same folder as the gauges page, then the relative path is the same folder, and you would just enter "realtimegauges.txt"

If you decide on a different 'standard' gauge size, then it is a good idea to edit the HTML file and make all the gauge <canvas> entries 'width' and 'height' properties the same value. This is not mandatory, but it means the page will not 're-flow' between the initial page load and script running. You can also remove any elements associated with gauges you will not use as well, again this is not mandatory, the script will remove them dynamically for you.

I see the translations as community effort, so I have created a [[SteelSeries_Translations|translations page for SteelSeries]] here in the Wiki. Please contribute by refining or completing these pages.  


If you are only going to use one language, then deleting the unused language options and the changeLang() function from the language.js file will speed up the page load time slightly.

Note for VWS users the Wind Rose will be automatically disabled, but these users should still remove the scripts from the HTML as above to reduce the page load times.

== Altering the gauge sizes on the page  ==
From version 2.2.0 the sizes of the gauges is controlled via CSS and longer coded in the gauges.js script. By default all the gauge canvas tags are set to pick up their size from the ".gaugeSizeStd" class in gauges-ss.css file. To change the size of all the gauges, simply edit this class and set the width & height to your required size - the width and height should always be the same.
You can easily have different sized gauges on the same page, in the gauges-ss.css I have created two additional classes ".gaugeSizeSml" and ".gaugeSizeLrg", (again you can edit the width/height values of these classes to whatever you want), to assign one of these alternative sizes to a gauge, edit the HTML and change (for example)...
      <canvas id="canvas_baro" class="gaugeSizeStd"></canvas>
      to
      <canvas id="canvas_baro" class="gaugeSizeLrg"></canvas>
This would change the Barometer from a 221 pixel gauge, to 261 pixels (using the default values).

To process the customclientrawlocal.txt, in WD you need to:
*in control panel, webfiles/web page setup, real time ftp setup
*see the custom client raw file setup...and tick to create that
*make sure the needed customclientrawlocal.txt is in the clientraw folder location

== Virtual Weather Station (VWS) Users ==
These files will work with VWS if you have setup VWS to upload the WeatherFlash conditions files (wflash.txt, wflash2.txt).  You do not have to purchase WeatherFlash to use these scripts, but
just have to set up VWS to upload the files via HTTP or FTP methods.  See VWS, Internet, WeatherFlash dialog for setup and use either Server File or Active Server Page to perform the upload with
an interval of 10 seconds or so.
You need to switch the following value in gauges.js:
    weatherProgram    : 0,
  To...
    weatherProgram    : 2,
=== steelseriesVWSjson.php ===
Configure the steelseriesVWSjson.php file settings area near the top of the file for the location of the WeatherFlash Data/ directory (using relative file addressing), and for your
other preferences (units, timezone, etc.).
In scripts/gauges.js,
* change the weatherProgram variable to 2 to indicate VWS is being used.
* change the imgPathURL to the relative URL location of the VWS vwsNNN.jpg graphs.
* change the realTimeURL_VWS to the relative URL path of the steelseriesVWSjson.php script
In gauges-ss-basic.htm,
* remove the wind rose scripts by deleting the following lines...
      <script src="scripts/windrose.js"></script>
      <script src="scripts/RGraph.common.core.min.js"></script>
      <script src="scripts/RGraph.rose.min.js"></script>
Note that VWS does *not* produce data for all the entries to be displayed.
The following are missing due to this lack of VWS supplied data:
* windrose display: the display will be disabled by default.
* rain chart: the time of last rain is 'n/a'.
* all-time min/max barometer pressure: the Barometer gauge will not show red areas up to the all record low pressure and from the record high pressure to the max of the gauge.
* some gauges show only current values as the min/max values are not computed by VWS.
* the humidex number is not provided by VWS, but computed by the steelseriesVWSjson.php script instead, so there is no humidex graph available.

Please see the WeatherCat wiki page for instructions: http://wiki.trixology.com/index.php/Steel_Series_Gauges

Some features of the gauges page are not available, when you configure the program type to "4" the
script automatically disables the Wind Rose gauge and the pop-up graphs.
