Davis VP data extraction at start up...works great

Hi all
My dad has UV and solar, and so I was able to get the raw data from his setup…(Dad is now in hospital with a morphine pump :frowning: )
I was 1 data point out of sequence for the UV and ET values from the data extraction at start up…
and the solar from last known good value if null readings, should be fixed too (Peter, you needed that)
so, should be all good!
uploading 10.13u now
will be ready in 30 to 60 minutes

Brian,

this is what I get with 10.13u at the vantagelog.txt

SOLAR is perfectly correct now!

Under E.T. there is a zero and under UV get 25,5 but I do not have a UV sensor (and I have checked to have unticked that in the new station config).

25.5
ie that comes from 255
i.e that is a null reading, as you dont have a UV sensor
i will do some checking to see why the ET does not come through to the vp log
but, it should plot on the solar/uv real time graph…yes?
(note there is an option to plot own et (i.e WD calculated it) on that graph (its then a much smoother line!!)

Brian,
on the graph solar ist plotted ok, E.T. at zero and UV at 25.5 (for the time span WD was shut down)

peter
if you could get to me the vptemplog.txt log
and what the ET reading should have been during that data period
thanks

still no sign of the solar sensor i ordered
