Title: Importing data From Weather Display
Post by: Hugh Whalen on June 06, 2017, 12:36:44 PM
I have data from August 2008 to today in Weather Display files. I have looked at the documentation and format of the 6_WeatherCatData.cat file.

I know enough Swift/XCode that I can write a program to extract the data from Weather Display files and put it into .cat files. I would like to confirm a few things before I do this. Any insights would be helpful.

1.  I would need to create the proper directory structure with a separate directory for each year. Correct?

2.  In each directory the files are named X_WeatherCatData.cat with the X being 1...12. Correct?

3.  If I change a file I must delete the X_WeatherCatData.cat.hrs file? Correct?

4.  Upon starting WeatherCat will create a new X_WeatherCatData.cat.hrs file for ALL of the new X_WeatherCatData.cat files. This will bring all my historical data into WeatherCat. Correct?

5. The data in the X_WeatherCatData.cat files is in UTF8 (plain text). Correct?

6. The headers in the X_WeatherCatData.cat files are optional as the important data is in the key:value pairs. Correct? I will put them in but I was just curious.

7. The line separators in the X_WeatherCatData.cat files are /n. Correct?

8. The first entry in each line of a X_WeatherCatData.cat file is a number. This is just a line number and has no significance. Correct? Do I need to put this  in? If so, what is it?

9. There are keys in the X_WeatherCatData.cat file that I do not understand. They are Sy1 to Sy5. I think they may be System status codes but I do not know what they are. Can anyone explain what they are?

Thanks in advance.

Dear Hugh and WeatherCat "do it yourself" types,

I have data from August 2008 to today in Weather Display files. I have looked at the documentation and format of the 6_WeatherCatData.cat file.

I know enough Swift/XCode that I can write a program to extract the data from Weather Display files and put it into .cat files. I would like to confirm a few things before I do this. Any insights would be helpful.

Well now!  You are a go getter!!  If you manage to write this program would you be willing to share it with any other Weather Display users who might want to switch to WeatherCat?

1.  I would need to create the proper directory structure with a separate directory for each year. Correct?

Correct.  For historical reasons the path to the directories of the years is:

~/Library/WeatherCatData/Location1/

2.  In each directory the files are named X_WeatherCatData.cat with the X being 1...12. Correct?

Correct

3.  If I change a file I must delete the X_WeatherCatData.cat.hrs file? Correct?

Correct

4.  Upon starting WeatherCat will create a new X_WeatherCatData.cat.hrs file for ALL of the new X_WeatherCatData.cat files. This will bring all my historical data into WeatherCat. Correct?

Correct.  Actually the *.cat.hrs are the index files which are generated to access the data.

5. The data in the X_WeatherCatData.cat files is in UTF8 (plain text). Correct?

I think this very likely, but I don't have a handy tool to confirm this 100%.  If this concerns you, check with the developer Stuart Ball by contacting technical support on the trixology website.

6. The headers in the X_WeatherCatData.cat files are optional as the important data is in the key:value pairs. Correct? I will put them in but I was just curious.

Same comment as before.  I'm just a beta-tester and don't know every last bit of the software, but my understanding was that comments were simply to help the users and weren't required.

7. The line separators in the X_WeatherCatData.cat files are /n. Correct?

I believe so as well, but to be 100% sure ask Stu.

8. The first entry in each line of a X_WeatherCatData.cat file is a number. This is just a line number and has no significance. Correct? Do I need to put this  in? If so, what is it?

Unfortunately I don't know the answer to that one as well.  If I was in your position I would simply replicate the file format as it is a minor addition.

9. There are keys in the X_WeatherCatData.cat file that I do not understand. They are Sy1 to Sy5. I think they may be System status codes but I do not know what they are. Can anyone explain what they are?

Actually these are what is called "synthetic channels."  These are values that are derived from the physical data using AppleScript coding.  They are actually a very useful addition to WeatherCat.  You can read up on synthetic channels starting on page 56 of the current WeatherCat manual.

Once more welcome and by all means feel free to ask any additional questions you might have.

Cheers, Edouard

Dear Hugh and WeatherCat weather data "historians,"

I will certainly be willing to share it. However, I think it would only be useful to people who have both Weather Display and Vantage Pro hardware.

You might well be correct, but the Davis is the most popular station around, so there is likely to be a few WeatherCat users with orphaned data that they would like to retrieve.

I hope indeed you find the task straightforward and I thank you for your efforts!

Edouard,

As I am writing the program I encountered one more thing I am not sure of.

Ph is hourly precipitation
Pm is monthly precipitation
Py  is yearly precipitation

What is P? In the header file it says  total precipitation. But total  for what? For the day?

I am making significant progress. Hope to have it finished next week.

P is total daily precipitation.  Also, I assume you knew this but just in case, WeatherCat stores all data in metric units.

I am making significant progress. Hope to have it finished next week.

Glad to hear the project isn't posing any major challenges thus-far!

Best of luck with this project!  [tup]

Hello Hugh!

How is your project going?  ThU32:-)
Title: Re: Importing data From Weather Display
Post by: Hugh Whalen on June 19, 2017, 12:20:13 PM
It's coming along quite well. At this point I can...
Import WeatherDisplay data for a month into a M_WeatherCatData.cat file.

It looks exactly like the WeatherCat data file that WeatherCat produces but I have not yet tested it by moving it into the WeatherCat directory.

I can search and get all related files from Weather Display.

I still have to do the following:

Write code to go through all the files and export them into the proper directory structure. That is a structure which puts each year's files in the appropriate directory names for the year. ie. put all 2012 files in a directory called 2012.

Write the interface code so that a person can put in the input directory (where the Weather Display files are located) and the output directory (where the X_WeatherCatData.cat should be placed.)

There is also some error handling that needs to be done.

Also, it appears that Weather Display stores data in the units that the user specifies. So, for example, I use all metric units but some people may use all English units or a mixture of both. Someone may have temperature in Fahrenheit but pressure in mb rather than inches. It appears that WeatherCat always stores the metric data and if required converts it to the format the user wishes to display. So, the program would have to know the units that the user specified and do the conversion. I have not put in the  code to do this as all my data is metric so I don't have test data for other formats.

One final thing. I don't know if users with different sensors (solar, uv, soil temperature) have a different file format than I do. So, if someone wants to use the program I would have to have examples of their data files to ensure that the conversion is done correctly.

I hope to be finished  this week but problems can always occur. The first 90% of software development takes 90% of the time. The last 10% takes the other 90%.  :-\

It takes around 12 to 14 seconds to import a month of data on a Mid 2010 iMac 27-inch with a 2.93 GHz processor and a Hard Disk Drive.

Next week I will have a 2017 iMac 27-inch with a 3.5 GHz processor and 512 GB SSD. I suspect the time to process will drop. [bounce]

It sounds that You are doing super good importer software! =)  ThU32:-)
I have davis vantage pro2 with UV and solar sensors and my WD data is also in metrics, so if You need any datafiles, I can send them to you!

Post by: Hugh Whalen on June 19, 2017, 08:02:14 PM
The program converted all WeatherDisplay files from August 2008 to June 2017 ( a total of 107 months ) in 18 minutes. It also placed them all in the correct directories.

I am now visually inspecting the files to look for any obvious errors before I attempt to put them into WeatherCat.

Progress ...

I will probably need another set of files to test once I have convinced myself that the conversion of my files was done correctly. I will email you later in the week when I have reached that point.

I have converted and moved  over all my Weather Display data from August 2008 to May 2017 inclusive.

WeatherCat successfully interpreted all the data. I can see data from every month as well as NOAA reports, etc.

Some of the data is bad and I am checking to see why. So far, it has  all been bad data in Weather Display, not a conversion problem.

Hugh

Nice progress. Thanks for keeping us in the loop.
Title: Re: Importing data From Weather Display
Post by: Hugh Whalen on June 20, 2017, 06:30:47 PM
Update:

Some of the data in my Weather Display files was bad. In one case there were a number of Nulls in the Weather Display files (not many, three instances in two files out of a total of 107 files). This caused the program to crash. I manually removed the Nulls but will fix the program to automatically remove them before they are processed.

In another case 3 observations of Pressure were wrong in a three minute (observation) period. The pressure went from 1013.0 to 0.0 to 976.3 to 1015.0 and back to 1013.0. The effect of this was to report the minimum pressure at my station was 0.0 mb. Sort of like halfway to the moon. I fixed this by manually editing the Weather Display file.

One thing that caused a number of problems. I lost data from July 2013 to July of 2015 because of a backup failure. Weather Display has an option to download data from Weather Underground if you have been uploading data to that site. As I have done that, I downloaded the data. However, this data does not have exactly the same format as regular Weather Display files. When I process this data I get some very weird results. For example, it shows the maximum rain day is March 13, 2014 with 345.4 mm of rain. Essentially I have had to discard the data downloaded from Weather Underground.

When I discard the months from July 2013 to July 2015 it creates a problem. WeatherCat will create X_WeatherCatData.cat.hrs files only back to August 2015. It will not create data back farther than that even if the X_WeatherCatData.cat files exist.  This should not be a problem for anyone who has continuous files going up to the time they switched over. That is, it stops when there are missing months.

I have written to weathercat_support@trixology.com asking if there is any way to work around this.

I still have to do the user interface so that people can input the locations of their Weather Display files and the location where they want their converted files to be stored. I will probably do that Thursday or Friday.

Hugh
Title: Re: Importing data From Weather Display
Post by: Hugh Whalen on June 20, 2017, 07:22:13 PM
Just received a reply from WeatherCat support. The workaround is to create X_WeatherCatData.cat files for the missing months with just the header in the file.

Appeared to have worked flawlessly.

I will try to add this to the conversion program to fill in missing months.

Fast and informative service. I am very impressed!

Title: Re: Importing data From Weather Display
Post by: Hugh Whalen on June 21, 2017, 08:19:50 PM
This is very odd. I was looking at the records for Windspeed and some other variables. Weather Display shows a maximum wind gust of 93.2 kmh on December 30 of last year at 8:46 in the morning. However, WeatherCat shows the maximum gust for that day at 50 kmh for the same time. I looked at the log files for Weather Display for that exact time and it shows 50.

Hmmm 50 mph = 80.5 kph

50 knots = 92.6 kph

Whaat?????

So, I check the maximum gust for today. It occurred at 12:45 PM. In WeatherCat it is recorded in the log as 45.06 kmh. 28 mph is exactly 46.06 kmh. So I look at Weather Display for the same time. The data is 24.0. 24.0 mph is 38.62 kmh. 24.0 knots is 44.45 kmh. But all the windspeeds in the Weather Display log files have 0 after the decimal place. If you convert mph to knots then 28 mph = 24.33 knots = 46.06 kmh.

Wow.  All my wind data is in knots in the Weather Display files. How did that happen I have no idea. I will, however have to do the file conversion over again.

Sigh.

Took me 10 minutes to change the code and 20 minutes to run it. Everything looks OK now...

So no major disaster. That's just what checking the results of a program run is for.  [coffee]

Title: Re: Importing data From Weather Display
Post by: Hugh Whalen on June 23, 2017, 01:19:10 AM
I now need some examples of other people?s  Weather Display files to proceed with further testing. Right now, I need the following files for any ONE MONTH

MYYYYlg.txt
MYYYYindoorlog.txt
MYYYYvantagelog.txt
MYYYYextralog.csv

M is the month (from 1 to 12), YYYY is the year so, for example, files for April 2011 would begin with 42011.

The MYYYYlg.txt file is required. The others are not required but if you have them I would like them.

You need to upload the files to my Dropbox account. If you email me at hwhalen@unb.ca I will tell you how do this.

Don?t? read beyond here unless you really care about the details of how this is done. It?s long and boring unless you are a programming geek!

************
The Weather Display MYYYYlg.txt file is a plain text file and contains the following information  - day, month, year, hour, minute, temperature, humidity, dew point, barometer, wind speed, gust speed, wind direction, rain last minute, daily rain, monthly rain, yearly rain, heat index.

The MYYYYindoorlog.txt is a plain text file and contains the following information -  day, month, year, hour, minute, indoor temperature, indoor humidity.

The MYYYYvantagelog.txt file is a plain text file and contains the following information ? day, month, year, hour, minute, solar radiation, UV, daily ET, soil moisture, soil temperature

The MYYYYextralog.csv file is a Comma Separated Variable file and contains the following information -  day, month, year, hour, minute, 9 temperature readings numbered 1 to 9, 9 humidity readings numbered 1 to 9.

Using these 4 files we can either retrieve or calculate the information that goes into a WeatherCat log file. This file is called X_WeatherCatData.cat where X is the month. You will note that there is no information in the file name to indicate the year. WeatherCat puts 12 months of data into a directory with the name of the year. Eg the directory is named 2016.

The X_WeatherCatData.cat file is a plain text file which contains the following information, described in a header in each file. The header reads:

WeatherCat data file ***If you modify this file, be sure to delete the relevent .hrs file***.
t and V are not optional, all other fields are. 
t is the day, hour and minute (2 digits each), T is outside temperature, Ti is internal temperature, T1 to T8 is auxiliary temperatures, D is dew point, Pr is barometric pressure, W is wind speed, 
Wd is wind direction, Wc is wind chill, Wg is wind gust, Ph is hourly precipitation, P is total precipitation,
H is outside humidity, Hi is internal humidity, H1 to H8 are auxiliary humidity sensors, S is solar, CO21 to CO24 is CO2
Sm1 to Sm4 is soil moisture, Lw1 to Lw4 is leaf wetness, St1 to St4 is soil temperature,
Lt1 to Lt4 is leaf temperature, U is UV, Pm is monthly precipitation, Py is annual precipitation, Ed is daily ET, Em is monthly ET, Ey is yearly ET, C is current conditions (delimited by double quotes), V is validation.

VERS:3


An examination of the files indicates that the following information is in the Weather Display files but not the X_WeatherCatData.cat file: year, month, rain for minute, heat index. This is because WeatherCat uses the file name for the month and the directory location for the year.  WeatherCat calculates the heat index from the other information in the X_WeatherCatData.cat file.

The following information is included in the X_WeatherCatData.cat file but not in the Weather Display files: hourly precipitation, wind chill, monthly ET, yearly ET, Current Conditions. Therefore, we must calculate this from information that we retrieved from the Weather Display files.


Other Issues

The original data files from Weather Display may have errors. There can be several of these. (Please note that this is not a criticism of Weather Display. The errors can occur at many places. The Davis weather sensors may have errors. The transmission of the data may have problems in many places. Transmission to the ISS. Transmission to the console. Transmission to the computer, etc. )

Each Weather Display monthly data file has 30 days x 24 hours x 60 minutes = 43,200 data samples.  Each sample can have 7 to 23 data items. So, say an average of 12. We have 4 files with data so we have 43,200 x 4 files x 12 observations = 2,073,000 data points each month. We can have errors in any of these.

The errors are rare but they take several forms:

Null values in the data samples. In 84 months of data I had three instances of null data.  So, in 2,073,000 x 84 = 174,132,000 data points I had 3 errors. Nonetheless, each one would crash the program. So, I must search through all the data points and eliminate the nulls.

Weather Display files may also have redundant data. If Weather Display crashes it may not have properly recorded the last time it saved data. When it restarts it my go to my logger and reload the data. So, there will be redundant data. I must remove all the redundant data. Again, this does not happen often but I must deal with it.

WeatherCat uses the X_WeatherCatData.cat files to calculate other things. This data is stored in X_WeatherCatData.cat.hrs files. I really don?t know much about this but I think it contains statistical and other calculated data. The data in the X_WeatherCatData.cat.hrs files comes from the X_WeatherCatData.cat files.

All WeatherCat data while it may be displayed in different units, is stored in metric units (degrees Celsius, kilometers per hour, pressure in mb or hPa (which are the same), rainfall in mm, evapotranspiration in mm). Data in Weather Display may be stored in different units (temperature in Fahrenheit or Celsius, speed in mph, kph or knots per hour, rainfall in mm or inches, evapotranspiration in inches or mm, etc. So, we must know what units Weather Display has stored the data. Then we must translate the units into metric when we import data.

So, we do not need to create the X_WeatherCatData.cat.hrs files as WeatherCat does this for us. There is, however, one thing we must be careful of. There can be no holes in the sequence of X_WeatherCatData.cat files. Here is an example. If I have X_WeatherCatData.cat files from September 2006 to August 2014 and October 2014 to the present, WeatherCat will only create X_WeatherCatData.cat.hrs files back to October, 2014. It will not go back before this because it is missing the September 2014 file. Since that file is missing it assumes there is nothing before it.

So, we must fill in all missing data files from the start of our Weather Display files up to the month we start using WeatherCat. There doesn?t need to be any data in the files.  They only need to have the standard header.

End of a long and rambling post. Time to go to bed.

I've chosen some past dates at random, and the data appear to be there and display properly on WeatherCAT controller.  This is good enough for me at this point, even if some of the data is not there.   This goes back to December 2010.   Thanks again to Hugh.

For those of you who want your data transferred. You should email me at hwhalen @ unb.ca I will then send you

1. A list of Weather Display files that I need.
2. A list of other information I need such as the format your data is stored in (celsius or fahrenheit, mph or kph, etc)
3. Information on how to upload that data to my Dropbox
4. Information on how to retrieve that information from Dropbox.
5. How to add the data to WeatherCat.

I thought about just sending people the program I developed but I decided against that because there are often errors in the original Weather Display files that can cause the program to crash. They are very rare. I had three errors in almost 10 years of data. John had only one. However, it is almost impossible for me to troubleshoot someone else using the program but usually quite easy for me to do.

It only takes 20 minutes to convert about 10 years of data. But turnaround time may be a couple of days because I will do it when the mood strikes me. 8)

Mr. Whalen, might I suggest that you edit your post with your email addy? Just put a space on either side of the "@" is probably enough to keep the bots from harvesting it. Most people know to remove the spaces when creating a message.

Although I don't have WD data, I want to think you for your work at making the conversion easy for others! [cheer]

Thank you for this comment. I knew this but I was careless and forgot to fix the email address.

Posting in a hurry is never a good idea. :(

Hugh

Hugh converted 10 years of WD weather data so I could use it in WeatherCat. Thank you Hugh!!

Hugh managed to convert seven years of unreliable Weather Display data for me. I now have a complete run of data from 2009 until today, except for a period in July 2015 when I switched from WD to WC. I don't think Hugh has written a script to convert part months yet, but I live in hope.

Meanwhile, I'm happy with what I have. Many thanks Hugh.
