In 10.12R, when restarting WD, the data logger seems to want to get the data from the last time WD STARTED. For me, it was thousands of minutes ago.
This was not a problem with my last upgrade a couple weeks ago.

humm, that should be fixed in 10.12s beta
please try that
and check the entry in the wdisplay.ini file for
[Davis download]
and the time/date entries there are updating each minute as wd is running
10.12S Solved the problem. Thank you!

thats good
i should have done it that way from the begining! 8O
I just upgraded to 10.12t and the datalogger at start up worked find, with a prior release(10.10?), I lost 24 hours of data. I noticed that when it was recovering data from the console that the Baro was coming in with a fixed value of 29.674 for each record that it added rather then the 29.938 that it really was. Is this a known bug?

the barometer should update ok
but note that you have to set a separate offset in the data logger setup
but also, it might be that i am not handling correctly the reading at that low barometer value from the extracted data
i.e that is a low reading…
maybe you could set a barometer offset in the console?
i suspect it didnt work last time on the older verison of wd becuase your raw baro value is too low
i.e, do you live at altitude?
The console barometer offset (hPa) was set at 3.0, have reset to 0.0.
Elevation is set at 125 feet in Program setting/Other settings. Anywhere else I should look?

hi
no, i meant that you might have to add more offset on the console if the raw baro reading is low
the altitude setting in wd is only used for the cloud base calculation and or the QFE barometer option
do you live at only 125 feet?
what is your current offical sourced barometer reading?
Doing a quick scan, my current readings 0800 PDT, 52.2F, 30.180, elev ~125 Ft. Nearest reporting station is at the Tacoma Narrows airport, 0759 PDT, 52F, 30.12 elev 292 Ft.
I’ve fallen back to ver 10.10s for stability reasons, some of which have nothing to do with WD, but rather the age of the machine WD is running on.
Hi
how does your raw reading compare with those baro readings>?
Dead on. The logger is the only time that the logs have been off from the base station.
I did see a discussion elsewhere concerning the data logger and the use of 10-14 as the offset. :?:
I have used the baro numbers straight out of HeavyWeather (WS2310 supplied software) to add to the log files and they matched.
