Import Davis wlk files

I am attempting to import 4 years of Weather Link Log files. When I select the wlk file, program displays “Writing temporary log file”; Progress of import shows nothing. When I hit Import this file, program displays “Finished”; progress of import shows nothing again.

When I go to View and Modify Log File/Rain totals, nothing ever displays after selecting the Davis log file I tried to import. Try to graph the specific dates I “imported” also shows nothing.

Is the import of Davis wlk files working? Does the software need to be registered for this functionality?

Also, would it be best to import all of the Davis wlk files before going live with the WeatherDisplay software? Currently I am still using WeatherLink on a 8 year old Windows 98 computer that could pass away at any time.

Thanks,

Jeff

Hi
are you doing this import on the mac version or on the windows version?
.zip and email me one of the files you are trying to import and I will test here

Brian,

I am using the Mac version 10.37h. The wlk files were created on a Windows 98 computer. I’ll email you the first month wlk file.

Hi
I finally figured out what was wrong
next Mac update, ready soon, will have the .wlk import working

Brian,

Great news. Looking forward to trying it out.

Hi
its ready now :slight_smile:
(works for, so should for you as well)
(first tick to use .wlk format, then select the .wlk file
then click on import)
the problem was I needed to remove the directory info in the file name before parsing out the month/day/year from the file name (if just the .wlk file was entered in the file name field and no directory (i.e it was in the same directory as where WD was (or the root directory) then it would have worked I think))

Imported my first two months of wlk files without a hitch. It is working on my end. Just 58 more months to go!

Thanks,

Jeff

Jeff,
Welcome to the WD Forum. Do you have a web site available yet?
