I had WD off for several hours while I wrestled with the computer I planned on putting it on. I finally got it (the computer) and the software moved over and restarted after a real feasco with Remote Desktop and the stupid move I did with the Serial Ports.
In anycase… when the system came up, it didn’t load the data from when was turned off.
There is a jump from when I stopped the program at 18:35 to when I turned it back on at 21:42. The Weather Station and the logger were never touched during this period. I noticed that WeatherLink, just downloaded a bunch of packets and acted like nothing was missing. I had not run it for a couple days.
Am I missing some setting to make WD go and get logged data it didn’t see?
hi
on the new pc, was that a first time new setup, or did you copy the settings files over before hand?
i.e like wdisplay.ini from c:\windows or c:\winnt (as then wd would know the last time it was running, by the wdisplay.ini file settings, specificly the [Davis download] section (the time and dates there)
also, check under setup, datalogger setup, you have it set to download the data at start up
and check the time/date on the pc match the time/date on the console
and the console is best if it can be set to 1 minute logging (but in a new 10.18d, i have it now, and it should work, that if you have ticked/selected a non 1 minute logging interval, then wd will try and find the closet minute to that logging interval (i.e nearest 5, or 10, or 15 or 30 minute time) instead of the minute that it was last running (that should help, or has that broken things?)
I copied over the entire directory and the c:\windows\WDISPLAY.INI file.
also, check under setup, datalogger setup, you have it set to download the data at start up
Not sure about this. Under setup itself, I don’t see an option that says datalogger setup.
On the control panel I see Weather Station Datalogger Setup… I guess that is what you are referring to.
I did NOT have the green option set that says. Download Archive data when program first starts.
and check the time/date on the pc match the time/date on the console
and the console is best if it can be set to 1 minute logging (but in a new 10.18d, i have it now, and it should work, that if you have ticked/selected a non 1 minute logging interval, then wd will try and find the closet minute to that logging interval (i.e nearest 5, or 10, or 15 or 30 minute time) instead of the minute that it was last running (that should help, or has that broken things?)
Time is exactly the same and I do have it set to 1 minute logging.
I think the problem was the lack of the Download Archive Data when program first starts option.
