The data logger is on ac and is losing about 1 minute . I set the clock then download. Howver the file is blank no numbers in it, 0byte.
Just got home so I have waded through the email and now will start with the software issues.
ok, back. No change with taking off the antivirus, firewall( off line of course) . I even got the other console and logger from the other room and still doesn’t match or produce the vpdownload.txt file from the archive. BUT it does run from the console connection. strange
but it made no difference. In fact I got the other dataloggerand it behaves the same. I can dwnload with the weathrlinkand no issues. got to be somethng else. probably very easy as well.
The WD won’t communicate on any thing less thatn 19200 why? not sure.
Maybe something with sensors or some oddity.
The WD does communicate with the console and accurately acquires information, so how ever it is connected does accept data as it is received at the data logger or however it is configured.
However, it will not read the data logger archives. The console indicates that the archives are being accessed ( by none of the buttons being accessed) but it produced only one time anything with the vpdownload.txt.
I duplicated the conditions in which I recieved the data, but no dice the next time. Now the weatherlink software does connect and update archives directly.
I tried an earlier version 9.48 in a new file wdisplay4, but had the same results of no archive.
I am not sure what is happened. for some reason I wonder if some reading, some file is blocking the communications. why don’t I pack up the wdisplay.ini and send it to you.
ardvark, no, i dont need your settings…i dont have a VP,my dad has it
So far only you and 2 other people report this
the fact vers 9.48 doesnt work means i dont think its a change/upset in the software, i.e it might be a bios update in the data logger you have done maybe, or something else hardware related…weather link uses a different routine most likely too…
no, I haven’t done any software or bio update that I am aware of. Microsoft has done some autoupdates of their security features and unless it is one of these I am not sure. It could be but I don’t know how it could affect it. I keep around for chuckles vws and tried it on that one and it uploaded fine. so I am not sure what is happening here.
If I would download a fresh copy then install it as unregistered, would that screw up the registered copy. I would put it in another directory. curious.
you think it is worth a try to install a copy into a differnet directory but dont produce a wd.txt , just run it unregistered to see if something is amiss?
I know what i should do . I have a lap top and I could install it on that and see what happens.
