CLIENTRAWEXTRA.TXT

Hello everybody,
since i would like to write some code in php to draw a graphics on last 24 hour temperature, i took a look at the clientraws file generated by WD. among those files i noticed that clientrawextra.txt show the 24 timestamp (every hour of the day) and the corresponding temperature values…

the strange thing i noticed is that the timestamp seems to mark the time randomly…an not hour by hour…
for example this i s a piece of my clientrawextra.txt file (the timestamp details for the first 20 hour):

459 TimeStamp Hour 01 T 11:06
460 TimeStamp Hour 02 T 12:31
461 TimeStamp Hour 03 T 14:08
462 TimeStamp Hour 04 T 15:37
463 TimeStamp Hour 05 T 17:00
464 TimeStamp Hour 06 T 18:20
465 TimeStamp Hour 07 T 19:33
466 TimeStamp Hour 08 T 20:37
467 TimeStamp Hour 09 T 22:08
468 TimeStamp Hour 10 T 23:08
469 TimeStamp Hour 11 T 00:30
470 TimeStamp Hour 12 T 01:44
471 TimeStamp Hour 13 T 03:18
472 TimeStamp Hour 14 T 04:36
473 TimeStamp Hour 15 T 06:23
474 TimeStamp Hour 16 T 08:12
475 TimeStamp Hour 17 T 09:30
476 TimeStamp Hour 18 T 10:33
477 TimeStamp Hour 19 T 12:56
478 TimeStamp Hour 20 T 14:03

as you can see in the above example the time proceed in strange sequence … and i don’t kwon if there is some reason…or maybe some wrong configuration in my system…

i expected that file to report the time hour by hour …like that piece of other example:

459 TimeStamp Hour 01 T 11:06
460 TimeStamp Hour 02 T 12:06
461 TimeStamp Hour 03 T 13:06
462 TimeStamp Hour 04 T 14:06
463 TimeStamp Hour 05 T 15:06
464 TimeStamp Hour 06 T 16:06

etc… etc…

so what does it depend on?? may be i forgot something or some configuration are not correct…

or maybe there is another way or source file from which to build the last 24 hour temperature plotting graph

Thanks in advance

Hi try TNET Weather Clientraw parser https://www.tnetweather.com/wdparserold/?p=wdparserold. Data is put in to correct order and fields. See screen shoot snippet. Hope this helps

This is very strange.
Checked currently running consoleWD, WeatherDisplay and Meteohub programs. All three create clean successive time stamps and two of them at exactly the same minute every hour. (Meteohub uses only an hour stamp).
What program/version are you using and do you have an url to check the files more in detail?
When this can happen with others, I have to check my own code to adept to this strange behavior.

It seems to be a WD for Mac thing, both bdtripps and marzio2015’s clientrawextra.txt show inconsistent time stamps in those 459+ fields, the WD windows sites I have looked at have consistent minutes in those fields.

Yes, i’m using the OS X release of WD, i’m using the last build 10.37MAC build 231

this is the path to my clientraw files:

http://www.urbaniameteo.it/WD/

inside that path you can find : clientraw.txt, clientrawhour.txt, clientrawdaily, and clientrawextra.txt

anyway my goal is to plot the last 24hour temperature graph and i suppose the clientrawextra.txt could help me to plot this graph…
i can retrive , with a php script the last 24 hours and the corresponding last 24 temperature , but if i can’t solve the problem of strange succession of timestamp i can’t plot the graph…

hope some one can help me…

fell free to check with that path i write above for the client raw file…

thanks again

try
deleting the data file
62015latesttime.inf
when WD is not running
to get it recreated
then see how it goes after that

Hello Brian,
i can’t find the file you told me…

take a look at attached image (i found only those file in my Mac)

thanks
Regards
Marzio


it should be called
month62015latesttime.inf
in the data files folder

ok that’s what i did:

  1. shut down WD application
    2)delete the file month62015latesttime.inf
    3)delete all clientraw files on web directory go WD home folder
    4)restart WD application

that’s the result:

TEST MADE YESTERDAY NIGHT:
immediatly after deleting the file : month62015latesttime.inf:
as yu can see the timestamp are now coerent and the step is now correctly
hour by hour:

459 TimeStamp Hour 01 T 09:54
460 TimeStamp Hour 02 T 10:54
461 TimeStamp Hour 03 T 11:54
462 TimeStamp Hour 04 T 12:54
463 TimeStamp Hour 05 T 13:54
464 TimeStamp Hour 06 T 14:54
465 TimeStamp Hour 07 T 15:54
466 TimeStamp Hour 08 T 16:54
467 TimeStamp Hour 09 T 17:54
468 TimeStamp Hour 10 T 18:54
469 TimeStamp Hour 11 T 19:54
470 TimeStamp Hour 12 T 20:54
471 TimeStamp Hour 13 T 21:54
472 TimeStamp Hour 14 T 22:54
473 TimeStamp Hour 15 T 23:54
474 TimeStamp Hour 16 T 00:54
475 TimeStamp Hour 17 T 01:54
476 TimeStamp Hour 18 T 02:54
477 TimeStamp Hour 19 T 03:54
478 TimeStamp Hour 20 T 04:54
578 TimeStamp Hour 21 T 05:53
579 TimeStamp Hour 22 T 06:53
580 TimeStamp Hour 23 T 07:53
581 TimeStamp Hour 24 T 08:53

i made test and check again the file 1 hour and some minutes later and that’s the result:
(the sequence is still good but in the last value timestamp 23 timestamp 24 starting some issue)
459 TimeStamp Hour 01 T 11:05
460 TimeStamp Hour 02 T 12:05
461 TimeStamp Hour 03 T 13:05
462 TimeStamp Hour 04 T 14:05
463 TimeStamp Hour 05 T 15:05
464 TimeStamp Hour 06 T 16:05
465 TimeStamp Hour 07 T 17:05
466 TimeStamp Hour 08 T 18:05
467 TimeStamp Hour 09 T 19:05
468 TimeStamp Hour 10 T 20:05
469 TimeStamp Hour 11 T 21:05
470 TimeStamp Hour 12 T 22:05
471 TimeStamp Hour 13 T 23:05
472 TimeStamp Hour 14 T 00:05
473 TimeStamp Hour 15 T 01:05
474 TimeStamp Hour 16 T 02:05
475 TimeStamp Hour 17 T 03:05
476 TimeStamp Hour 18 T 04:05
477 TimeStamp Hour 19 T 05:05
478 TimeStamp Hour 20 T 06:04

578 TimeStamp Hour 21 T 07:04
579 TimeStamp Hour 22 T 08:04
580 TimeStamp Hour 23 T 09:10 → for (timestamp 23 first issue): delay of 6minutes from previous (it should be 09:04 but it’s 09:10)
581 TimeStamp Hour 24 T 10:11 → ok compared to previous: “hour 23” but the minutes no more coherence with the other time)

TEST MADE TODAY
The situation at 17:30 today is the following:
459 TimeStamp Hour 01 T 16:28
460 TimeStamp Hour 02 T 17:28
461 TimeStamp Hour 03 T 18:28
462 TimeStamp Hour 04 T 19:28
463 TimeStamp Hour 05 T 20:28
464 TimeStamp Hour 06 T 21:28
465 TimeStamp Hour 07 T 22:28
466 TimeStamp Hour 08 T 23:28
467 TimeStamp Hour 09 T 00:28
468 TimeStamp Hour 10 T 01:28
469 TimeStamp Hour 11 T 02:28
470 TimeStamp Hour 12 T 03:28
471 TimeStamp Hour 13 T 04:28
472 TimeStamp Hour 14 T 05:27
473 TimeStamp Hour 15 T 06:27
474 TimeStamp Hour 16 T 07:27
475 TimeStamp Hour 17 T 08:27
476 TimeStamp Hour 18 T 09:33 → from here(timestamp 18) start some issue no more hour by hour step
477 TimeStamp Hour 19 T 10:34
478 TimeStamp Hour 20 T 11:36
578 TimeStamp Hour 21 T 12:46
579 TimeStamp Hour 22 T 14:12
580 TimeStamp Hour 23 T 15:45
581 TimeStamp Hour 24 T 17:10

so, what i can say is that the timestamp seems to loose the 1Hour Step as time go on (immediately after it’s perfect, after almost one day start some issue…)
maybe i can keep on collecting data to check if the system get back to hour by hour tomorrow … but i think the problem is some other…

anyway any help is appreciated!!!

Thanks…

in the log file
62015lg.txt
is each minute being logged correctly?

Hello Brian,
i checked that file (attached a copy) as you can se the log file going on minute by minute…so it’s correct…

Thanks…

It would be helpful if some other OS X user of WD could share their experience about this file… i mean if the check their clientrawextra and see if the timestamp step is regular hour by hour … so in this case i know that it’s some configuration problem on my system…

Thanks…
