Weatherlink 5.8-> USBxpress mode

(1/9) > >>

zeppline:
I downloaded Weatherlink 5.8 and checked USB to check out the software.  Big mistake, it changes a byte in the datalogger and will only run USB . They have a program to change it back to serial but it does not work and you get an error code. Called Davis support and they know it and are working on it, no time span to fix the problem. My web page has been down for three days. They agreed to swap out my logger to get me going. MY USB has always work well. I am going back to 5.7 for a while, waiting for logger. DO NOT CHECK USB ON 5.8 WEATHERLINK SOFTWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OR NOT COM PORTS PERIOD. There is a warning about third party software and com port. But no warning of a one way street.        Joe

Update: the later versions of wlink 5.8 now have the cpx210.exe program included in the install...run that is the usb data logger has been set to USBexpress mode, to set it back to normal USB to serial mode

I tried the USB connection option of WeatherLink 5.8 with my test console which is USB. WeatherLink said it couldn't find it. But I was able to connect to it using the virtual COM port just like I did with the previous version of WeatherLink. I understand your warning about the USB option in WeatherLink, but I don't understand you saying the same think for the COM port option, as I've tried it and it seemed ok to me.

SoftWx:
Just a thought, but why don't you try uninstalling the Davis drivers, rebooting, and then reinstalling the drivers. I'd be curious to know if that allowed you to go back to using the COM port connection you used to use.

I have done that. The problem is in the logger. If you click on USB in the com page it changes the information in the usb logger and you can not change it back to work on serial. It's a bug in there software. They are sending me a new logger. Joe

Sorry but I'm lost, can you explain that a bit? Your profile says you have a USB logger, so that can only work USB - right? How did it ever work on serial ?
