No, I mean this:
Control Panel > Data Logger. Yours will be headed Davis or VP2 History or something. . .
In Control Panel, I opened ‘Data Logger’ with a history icon above it. I would post a picture of it, but since I’m a new user, I’m only allowed to post one Image per post.
When I open it, this is what I see:
While I had the setting in previous post turned off and just turned it back on, the data during that time period is missing in WD. Wouldn’t WD retrieve that data from the logger? Is that the history?
I’ve just moved you up a rank so you should have some extra privileges.
This what I clicked on:
My apologies, I’m using an older WD build and I don’t have a VP so that window is entirely new to me. And like a lot of things in WD I don’t understand what it’s meant to do, either.
On my old WMR200 station the data logger/logger interval was built in to the console and the screen I posted determined whether or not WD extracted the history data from the console at startup - full stop.
That switch should always be on as you found it did not get data when off if WD was still running it would not try and get the missing data you would have to set the time and date to get data from and restart WD that’s the bottom section on that setup screen
When WD is shut down properly the time and date of last data is stored in the ini file so if WD was restarted after 10 min it would get that data for that 10 min
If then time difference WD shutdown and startup is less than about 2 min then the history download would not happen
If the time on the console is out of sync with the computers that can also cause a problem with history download
I have the data logger in a weather envoy (no console). I used this screen to Get time, which the hour and minute were off by about 14 hours. The date was correct. I used the Set time to set the time on the weather envoy.
Then I used the Action, Extract Data from Davis VP Data Logger.
Seconds went by and nothing happened.
it cannot find any data for the time and date you have selected if you have the normal 1 min interval set the logger only holds about 42 hours but as you said earlier the weatherlink could not find any data the logger appears to have had the archive cleared but you should be able to get data saved after the clock correction
If it can’t find any data, why does it just sit there until I hit Abort?
WD wasn’t running for a couple of hours this evening. When I started WD, it hung up again. Wouldn’t the data logger have a couple of hours of data?
Turns out the data logger wasn’t seated properly in the envoy. Well any ways, taking it out and putting it back in fixed it.
