I have a VP2+ (original v1) and it’s work really well for it’s life. About 6 months or so ago, I had to move over from Win7 to Win10. After working out the kinks all was well once again with the exception of the video driver doesn’t work well at times. Not today’s issue.
Today, I remoted into the weather station pc and noticed there was no data from the station displayed on WD (latest version). Both Data Received “0” and Data Quality are red. Max temp shows 32 degrees when right now it’s 80. I went into the com port settings and all is well. WD reports the com port working but when I try to manually have it read the data (extraction) it does nothing. Reboots fail to improve things. I also noticed that many of my setting are missing.
Thoughts or suggestions on how to get it going again?
I will also add that the station stopped logging data on 8/14 @ 17:39 Eastern time. The consoles both show connected but it appears the app isn’t getting the data. I did get/install MS patches the night before but I cannot see any changes since.
First the ini file appears readable but I will try a new one.
The logger I got with the weather station over a decade ago. It’s serial based and not USB though that is another funny part since there appears to be a CAT 11 connector which separates the the logger from the serial adapter. Whats on the logger is B50509D89 LL. Davis appears not to sell this anymore.
I stand corrected. I had a backup of the wdsiplay.ini file and I copied that back into the main folder. In then relaunched the program. It now is displaying the data. Even though I could read the data in the ini, it still must have had something that blocked it from working.
