It started a bit ago… the connection to the Davis VP1 console (serial → Belkin serial/USB port) would suddenly stop working. It thought it might be my B&B 9POP4 serial optoisolator, but that’s been replaced.
On startup of VirtualVP 1.2.3, the ‘Reading Archive data’ screen pops up, indicates 96% reception, has 5 bars filled in, and just stops. I’ve deleted the archiveCache.dat and archiveCache.dat.tmp files, with the same result.
Also tested with WeatherLink directly connected (not through VirtualVP) and it reads the datalogger fine.
The log.txt for VirtualVP shows

Any help would be appreciated … as it is, my station is offline until this can be resolved.
