How to use Davis vantage pro datalogger setup

windy2 · 24 November 2003 16:14

well, it should not have been doing it at start up if you did not have that ticked.
but otherwise i have not changed anything
double entries?
humm, make sure you do not have ticked pad out the data under setup, general and misc?

nikoshepherd · 24 November 2003 16:43

How about a test version for Aardvark that uses DMP rather than DMPAFT? Might determine if it’s a date/time mismatch issue.

Pad out the data has not been ticked

windy2 · 24 November 2003 18:32

the problem ardvark is having is that, when it does arrive, the data has just all 255’s in it…even for the date/time…

nikoshepherd · 24 November 2003 20:49

So everything is 255, even the parameter ID’s 'n stuff? Maybe a dumb question but what rev is the datalogger?

aardvark · 24 November 2003 22:41

revision B. The odd thing is that WD used to work with it.

nikoshepherd · 24 November 2003 23:06

It’s very odd, nothing really adds up.

a) The fact that you saw the same problem with another computer would point to the unit itself or the cable.

but

b) It used to work with WD and it does work with weatherlink so the unit must be OK, so it must be the software.

but

c) Other users of the software don’t have the same problem.

:?

ardvark, i have mentioned this already, but in 9.97c or 9.97d, after a download, what appears under view,ws2000data setup and info
you are my eyes, you have to give me as much info as possible

windy2 · 25 November 2003 00:17

ok, rocketman sent me his info from this data screen
here is what might work, as a test:
untick the rev b station type
then exit wd for 10 minutes
then start it up
it might just work
but then to get live data, you will to set as rev b again

if this works, then i need to have another option that the download info is not in rev b format

aardvark · 25 November 2003 00:19

Well looking over my system and the software tha might interfer I can’t find anything.
I am using windows xp home with all the latest items on it. I have Norton antivirus/ personal firewall /anti spam. None of that should affect anything internally coming from this side of the firewall. I have basically use usb for everything. I have HP1910 , digital camera, external drive and iomega zip drive all on the usb side. the only serial item is the weather station on com 1.

Nothing is new everything was in place this summer when the system worked. All I can think of is that something might be interfering. BUT if I use the lap top, none of this is connected and the virus I turned off as it is off line anyway. Got to be something changed in the software. Things were fine until the Universal station showed up. I tried to set the controls for that but didn’t sync.

Maybe its going to be one of those mysteries tha somehow works itself out. If Brian can’t solve it right now, perhaps something might shake out later. I am going to think on this quite a while. Has to be something very very simple.

huh?
please re read my latest post:

windy2 · 25 November 2003 01:01

good news ardvark
rocketman,(vinay), had the same problem as you
but by unsetting it as a revb in the weather station type, davis VP ,
it worked at getting the data at start up!
So i need to put that option in
doing that now

Rocketman · 25 November 2003 01:22

yes it does work .

untick revb and shutdown ( then restart some time later )

Brian told me to retick revb after startup ( I did not retick ) it still works fine .

later

aardvark · 25 November 2003 01:27

how long did you let the program run without the rev b ticked?

When I do it I get the data screen showing something should download, but no data appears.

and of course without the rev b no data shows up on the screen. My unit needs that.

But I let it run about 10 minutes and then of f an equal time and no difference.

windy2 · 25 November 2003 01:33

huh?
Please follow the instructions ardvark

the instructions are:

Untick rev B in the station type, davis VP

then Exit WD for 10 minutes

then restart it, and it should then get the missing data
(and this works best if the data logger is set to 1 minute logging)

then set back as revb

windy2 · 25 November 2003 01:55

or maybe rocketman had his setup as revb when it should not have been…but then i would not have expected him to get much data

ardark, i need the info i have requested to help you
i.e you need to help me
is there anything under view, ws2000 data setup/type
after it has done a data extract at start up?
I need to know what appears there

well, we have killed 1 bird…rocketman is now sorted…he didnt need to have the revb ticked by the looks

so that just leaves you ardvark…
Please read this carefully:

and, looking at the data you have in that data window (thanks for getting that to me), you are still stuffed…
it should not look like that
you should not have all those 255’s sprinkled around like that
i would have though
but we can try an experiment…
normaly wd expects either a 0 at data position 52 and 50
or a 255 at both data postions 52 and 52 (revb)
which you dont have…
so, i will get you a test program where it accepts the 255 and the 9
but I have to milk dem cows now, so tomorrow is another day
