I’ve been having some trouble with spikes on my soil temp readings. To test if it was coming from the hardware or WD software, I swapped the sensors around. Duiring that period, I got some erroneous readings and now I wish to correct them in the log file. See this thread: http://discourse.weather-watch.com/p/141730
Looking at the regular log file (102006lg.txt), I dont see Soil Temp as one of the data fields. Is there another log file that contains the detailed Soil Temp logs by day/hour/minute?
I can open the 102006lg2.txt file and see the following fields: High soil, Low soil, High temp, Low temp, Snow Depth
However there are only 31 rows in this file.
Does it mean that the rows are for each day of the month?
Does it mean that only the high and low for the day are stored? (is there another log file with any more detail?)
Can I edit this file?
That worked well for me with the 928 Martyn, but I am using the same principle with VP2 and getting strange maxima/minima on summary page and on month to date file.
Since I’m using the Leaf Wetness/Soil Moisture remote sensor and I don’t have the Extra Temp Sensor, that log file seems to be missing on mine. Instead I have a 102006extralog.csv, but it has no valid data.
I am assuming you mean the file that is located in this directory: C:\wdisplay\logfiles
If so, that one seems to be the solar sensor data. If I open it it has nothing but zeros, maybe because I don’t have a solar sensor. Here is a snippit of that file:
day month year hour minute Solar radation Total wind run Total solar energy
1 11 2006 0 1 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.000
1 11 2006 0 2 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.000
1 11 2006 0 3 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.000
Could it have another name or be in another directory?
Have a related prob Brian following my post: http://discourse.weather-watch.com/t/21934
If I have soil probe ticked I get odd results on WDL.
I have two extra sensors as I did with the 928; one allocated to soil temp, the other to subsoil at -300mm.
The setting just checked for ‘extra probes’
This shows up well on WDL and on main screen but the summary shows soil temp as max100oC and min -100oC. Current soil temp is fine.
Have tried various ways of changing this without success.
ah ha
if you dont have solar set on in WD (control panel, solar setup), that logfile is not being saved as the format to have solar AND soil temp/soil moisture logged
i will fix it so that is soil temp or soil moisture enabled in the weather station type, then it will save in the correct format
in the mean time, the switch on under control panel, solar setup
So it has been several days now since I activated the switch under Solar Setup, but the logfile still looks the same. There is no change in the header, it still doesn’t show soil tem and soil moisture data.
