Brian,
I have been having problems with ver 10.37S build 39 having to do with my laser snow sensor. I tried to revert to my previous ver 10.37R build 81 but there appears to be some corruption when running. My question is could I download the ver 10.37R build “install” version without overwriting any data files?.
Thanks,
Bill
Davis Vantage Pro2 w/usb data logger
Windows 7 home premium operating system
Weather-Display 10.37S Build 39
what corruption error are you referring to exactly?
Brian,
Build 81 opened and the graphs appeared ok however there was no data in the current conditions, extreme conditions or the rainfall/snowfall window. There also was no data extration from the data logger.
Bill
see if there was an error under view, program event log
would it not be better to work with me on what issue you have with the lazer snow sensor and the latest version?
(bearing in mind that I am a very busy person)
Brian,
I am willing to wait to see what comes of the problem with the laser sensor and the latest version of Weather Display (http://discourse.weather-watch.com/t/63264). I understand that working with another build will take your time. any way it is not supposed to snow for at least 10 days.
Thank you for your prompt reply.
Bill
Brian,
I have been trying to go back to build 81 and WD stalls when it trys to get information from the data logger… The “data received” light will flash green but the “data quality” stays solid red. When I view the program event log there is an error: ERROR: ‘‘1 1’’ is not a valid integer value at time/date 3:06 pm 3/21/2017 I am not sure where this error is occuring.
Thank you
Bill
it will be an error in the wdisplay.ini settings file
look for
1 1
and remove that, in that settings file
Brian,
In the settings file I cannot find 1 1 anywhere. Using the find command, it only takes me to different places where 11 is part of a real number. The first bit of information in the ini file shows the time and date correct.
Bill
.zip and email me the file
Brian
I saw your comment about not having the laser setup for testing purposes and I’d love to send your one, but the cost of the hardware and shipping back and forth just doesn’t make it feasible to send my unit to you when the Winter season ends - wish I could. Yes, we know your are very busy and there is only a limited number of people using the laser system. Thanks for your time and efforts whenever you get time to look at it. I agree that working with the new versions is a much better solution, but having to edit all the snow data continuously when there is snowfall isn’t feasible either. B81 worked flawlessly during our blizzard this past week.
Thanks again for your efforts.
Cheers

I have also been renovating a farm house
that has taken up alot of time
(painting outside and inside and replacing some floor boards)
but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel for that project now
@willper, I also need your wdisplayftp.reg file (zipped)…I did email you about that
@willpiper
use windows regedit.exe
search for wdisplayftp.ini
in the registry
find they key
[real time graph wind]
and delete that whole key (and its values)
and that should fix the start up error
Brian,
That did not work. When I ran WD build 81 it still did not connect with the console. However the program event log does not have any errors.
Bill
However the program event log does not have any errors.
that means that my fix for that error did work, so not sure why you are saying it did not work
as for not connecting with the console , then that is a separate issue to that error
what shows under view, debug info?
Brian,
Here is the debug text file.
Bill
debug.txt (3.99 KB)
its failing with the davis baro check
what is the barometer offset that you have set in WD?
Brian,
I have not set a barometer offset. The baro reading on the console and in WD are the same. It also shows the same on my website.
Bill
I had the same problem. I did the latest windoze update windows 7 pro and it changed my barometer setting very high. After resetting barometer to the right setting everything is OK
The baro reading on the console and in WD are the same.
in build 81?
i.e does that mean its working, or?
(its not very clear)
maybe you have set to use altimeter barometer in the CWOP setup,,,unset that if you have
Zepppline,
Did the update and I noticed that WD opened the datalogger window but did not gather any information.
Brian,
Unchecking the altimeter/barometer settings fixed the datalogger issue. Everything is working now.
Thanks for all your help.
Bill
