there is a reset values button.....under view, lightning counts....
Greetings Brian ,
My Button on Ver 9.32 or earlier does not clear the display or reset the counts ? , It still shows the green histogram and the Total counts and last strike time , the button depresses but nothing happens?.
I am running Win 2k Pro with 2 processors and latest service packs.
Regards

Ps It appears to be the only thing that I use thats not working?
I have the LD from J Jennings now on my machine
It’s a serial coverted to usb connection (dell has no support for a second serial)
WinME did see the usb connection but no drivers in the database for it
so there is any connection but how tro translate to WD
Wd startup again but I only see at view (in grey) Lightening counts
Where to setup the lightning graph for my WMR900H ?
OOOOPs ?
go o setup, comport setup, and select the com port number to use for a dallas 1 wire and tick i want to usa a dallas 1 wire temp/hum sensor as well
then go to setup, dallas 1 wire setup, then it should detect the switch rom id there
then copy/paste that rom id into the lightnming rom id box and tick yu have a dallas 1 wire lightning counter, then click on save reset
the ws2000 type station shares the same report window, but otherwise you can use a dallas 1 wire with one OK…
try ticking you have a usb type in the com port setup
the searching for weather station sensors, but not finding a switch i button, means its not working with the current com port configuration…
i tried comport 1 for normal interface AND usb for LD
afer a while it lost com 1
and then …BSD ! no worse… black screen at all
but anyway you have the experience that it works with ws2000, Brian
then i’ll keep trying
(I don’t have a ground wire yet (only testing…it’s -8C here and no lighting at all…and want to test with a lighter from my camera…do I still need the ground ? (maybe I have to ask Jim…)
the i button viewer is nothing to do with WD
its an independent application, by dallas semi conductor…
you need to get the correct com port with that application , and get it to recognise the switch i button (the lightning counter)…
its just easy to use it than WD, thats all…
testing now
no comport but adaptor usb-serial
sees now comport 2
In WD set up Dallas 1 wire
is searching
says
no humidity / temp sensor (ticked my normal station has hum/temp)
no switch lightning counter
Is it neccesary while testing to get the ground connected (or only for save when in use)
What means is 1wire comm. channel shorted ? (Is that ground at pin 3 ?)
Discovered a lightning counter; did work
Saved and restarted WD
after that not working
When WD is closed
at searche it discovered DS9097U at com2 to Default 1-Wire Net {32-bit}
If WD start up no i-button could found at the port when searching
In my datafield
Program keeps searching each second and shows:
There is no Temperature Device on the port
There is no Temperature Device on the port Re-searching for i-buttons…**
**Searching for Weather station sensors
Switch (windspeed or rain or lightening counter) i-button found ID 9400000004FD0E1D
Lightening detector found and allocated: 9400000004FD0E1D
etc.
But no counting flashes !
Is it normal when WD starts the default I button prog doesn’t see DS9097U ?
How to stop searching ?
I got each second datacount WD react very slow !!
My LD is counting
but the program keeps searching for other devices
ticked my normal station has temp/hum in the comport setup
but I get back like this :
There is no Humidity Device on the port
There is no Temperature Device on the port

why ? WD is very slowly because it keeps searching for something thats not there and keeps telling me that it found the ID for the LD counter
i need to fix this
just have not had time
i have been swamped!
farm work, kids, emails…
arrgghh!
its just 1 person you know (and florian holding up the server in germany)
and lots of support out there
Hi Ed,
In my setup area I have been getting ( no lightning device ) sometime after it’s been found and allocated .
Save/ reset button restores the device ( and then sometime later it happens again )
Told Brian about it last week but he’s been quite busy ( playing his new xbox ) LOL
He put the challenge to me to come and play against him on it
Anyway I sure he will sort it out eventually .
