1. INTRODUCTION
The Model 1190-I International Data Collection Platform (DCP) is used with Automated Weather Observing
Systems (AWOS) to collect and process sensor signals. The DCP is located at the sensor station, and collects
data from the sensors, performs error detection on the received information, converts the sensors’ data into
engineering units, and transmits a message packet containing sensor data and status information to the Central
Data Platform (CDP) once every five seconds.
