This morning when i got up WD was still running but the graph on the main screen
stopped at about 4:05am no data was being recorded, but, WD had not crashed,
I could still open anything within WD, summary, reports and so on, all that was wrong
was WD stopped recording data…
As soon as i rebooted WD it started recording data as normal, there is nothing in the
program error log apart from 301: Interrupted. but this was at the time i rebooted WD
Even the ftplog stopped, so the FTP stopped uploading also the clientraw stopped updating
the website cause i had a warning on my site telling me it had stopped updating
The last time WD ftp’ed to the server was at 04:04:02am
The client runnign on the other computer just recorded a flatline from the time the main
WD stopped to the time it started again…
So, is this a new thing or has it been noticed before?
I had a similar thing a couple of days ago using 10.37N build 00, although I sort of know what caused it, but not why.
I had opened Control Panel > FTP & Connections window in WD and forgot to close them before I went to work in the evening. When I go to work I noticed that the website had stopped getting any updates from WD & WXsim (I use WD’s FTP to upload the WXsim forecast ). Nexstorm, which is also running on the same PC, was updating fine through the night.
When I got home in the morning, WD was still running but there was no data from 18:45 the previous evening. The time was showing correctly on WD’s main screen but everything had stopped, not even a flat-line graph. I closed the two open windows in the hope that it would come back to life but nothing doing.
Before I restarted WD I went to set the datalogger time so I didn’t miss any data from the VP2 but the time was already set to the last data set at 18:45.
After restarting WD it all came back with no problems and now I just make sure I close all windows once I’ve finished with them.
Hi Martin, I didnt have anything opened at all, WD was minimised at 3am as normal…
Its happened again this morning, at exact same time, not happy now, thats 8 hours of data up the swanny
on 2 of the coldest nights weve had in a good while I am using 10.37N B03
Any idea please Brian, 2 nights on the trot WD has stop recording any data both times at 4:05am…
The next good one is, I have enabled Reboot Computer when no data for 10 minutes, that aint working either!
Just adding a bit more info, i.e. ftplog, this was the last recorded log before the data stopped being recorded

Error Disconnected: [10053] Software caused connection abort with FTP transfer
Error occured at:04:04:12 07/01/2009
Other than that i cant help much, all i can say is, all that was done in WD was to update to the latest
version, nothing else has been done, its very strange cause like i said in the other post, i have got the
reboot if no data for 10 minutes enabled, yet it didnt work
The major problem here is that its not a crash so watchdog will not resolve it (i dont think) and again as
its not a crash theres no point in starting up startwatch again, the other downside is its at 4:05am and
who in there right mind will be up at that time of morning
ooo, i just remembered, i have changed something in WD and that was i enabled these few to be updated/uploaded
see image please, any of these meant to be updated at 4:05am?
The only thing i can tell you is its one of the settings in that image above, once i unticked all
of them WD is fine at night, with them ticked WD will stop recording Data (but not crash) at
4:05am
The problem with that method is that when the correct 1 fails the data will stop
recording at 4:05am and i aint up till at least 8am so thats about another 4 hours
of data up the swanny, i really hate it when i loose data, i would rather do without
using those options than loose any more data trying to find out, it might sound a
tad selfish but i have already lost 8+ hours because of it…
I do not know which one of those it will be
(and I do not have any other reports of a problem exactly like this)
at some stage if you could do some more narrrowing down that would be good
I will try, but i think someone else had a similar problem in another post but cannot remember which post now, I will try to narrow it down , i will do as Dan said…
Well, what can i say, I have now add all of them again and WD did not Stop receiving data
like it did before…
I am baffled now, When they were all ticked before, 2 nights on the trot WD stop receiving data
at 4:05am 4:04am was the last data, this was 2 nights, as soon as i removed those settings i m
mentioned in previous posts the very next day WD was working again 100%, so i add those
settings again 1 by 1 day after day and WD is still 100%, go figure…
But to be on the safe side, i have removed those settings just for the weekend as the weather is
supposed to perk up a little and i dont want to miss anything lol… I will addd them again after
the weekand
). Nexstorm, which is also running on the same PC, was updating fine through the night.
