I seam to have a couple issues that I cannot for the best of me find out how to correct.
1st. On WD software, I always see the moon icon even though the time is set correctly.
2nd. The forecast5day.gif is missing images or any data. It just shows Today, today, today… Also the scrolling ticket is missing any data.
3rd. Most of my tank images are without color even though the numbers show an amount.
4th. (I’ll stop here) The rainyeartank.gif image has 13.370.in listed in it but the blue amount is very low. I have years of data and I know we normally only get about 36" per year so shouldn’t the graph be somewhere around a third full?

  1. Go to Control Panel > Summary Images & Icons > Icon / VP Forecast / Weather Description Setup. Bottom left box “Icon / Conditions from Solar” tick those settings which apply to you. You don’t say whether you have a solar sensor or not, or whether you download your local METAR for the local conditions.
  2. Go to Control Panel > FTP & Connections > NOAA Forecast Download. Bottom righthand box is the 5 day forecast settings where you choose the forecast file to use and set the tick boxes and then clickthe “View” button for the image page and more settings.
  3. Go to Control Panel > Web Files / Web Page / Realtime FTP > Individual Dial Images/Temp Panel Setup. This page allows you to set the dial image colours and the rain tanks are the bottom three buttons.
  4. Not sure about this one but go to View > Rain Chart. Here you can change your rain totals if there’s an error, so check here first and see if it matches your log files. To find this go to the WD program folder “wdisplay” > Logfiles > the current months log file will be named “42025lg.txt” and this years’ rain total will be the second figure from the right.

Budgie,

  1. I have previously chosen from the top, 1, 2, 4 as well as Show the moon icon (at night). A;sp Show downloaded metar when clicking on main screen icon. The last one on this screen is “Show border”. I had selected to download the metar for two near-by airports but nothing shows in the metar folder under Wdisplay folder.
  2. After finding a new metar and looking for the forecast file, it blue screened the OS. It is Win7 since the newer OS’s don’t like the laptop. LOL Still no metar in its folder.
  3. I see the colors…
  4. That is a weird one since a little over 13" is correct. All of the vertical rain gifs are empty even though there is a number in them. However, I found a checkbox in Webfile/Indivdual Dial which might help.

Still no Metar files so…
