I purchased an OS WMR200 in early December and since that time have tried a number of available versions of Weather Display to sort out some data logging issues. Initially I tried the free version that came with the station, I then tried version 10.07m from the WD website and have also reverted back to an older version from the website dedicated for the wmr200. None of these version have solved the data logging issue, the main symptom is that it works absolutely fine if the station is plugged in to the pc with it running however everytime I go away for more than a couple of days when I reconnect to the PC and transfer the data it only ever transfers the last 3 days or so worth of data. For example I went away from 22/12/2008 to 29/12/2008 upon return I reconnected to the pc started wd and the download commenced it commenced the download of data from 22/12/2008 and 5 hours later it had apparently successfully downloaded. I did note that during the download there were multiple “missed data” occurrences, upon completion the graphs only displayed data for 29th and 28th so four days worth of data was missing when I examine the log files there are no files for the missing dates.
Having browsed the forum it seems as though this has previously been an issue, it is Worth mentioning that I am not at present using a registered version of the software as until I am satisfied that the hardware is working I am uninclined to pay out further. As a test I uninstalled WD and installed virtual weather station did a master reset of the unit and proceeded to log a further weeks worth of data at 1 minute intervals. Again when I downloaded the data I only had readings for the last 3 days of records and no log files at all for the first 4 days of the data capture. The data that is captured has numerous spikes in the outside temp and humidity and also in the barometer.
I have been right the way through the forum and double checked all the useful hints, I have emailed Brian with this query but appreciate he must receive hundreds of crys for help so would ask that has anyone had similar issues and are they resolved by purchasing the latest build, the free trial of the current build has not resolved these issues.
many thanks in advance
