Title: Losing temp data constantly
Post by: petter on January 07, 2015, 11:30:40 PM

My mom have been running a WMR 200 for and WC for a couple of years.
And for quite some time the internal temperature measurement have been strange.

It seems that somehow the Int temp drops to 0?C very often. Only to jump back up to the real temperature.

I've first thought it was due to the computer was polling data to fast and the WMR 200 not keeping up causing the 0C drop. So I increased WC sampling to 4 or 5 minutes and it looked better but only for a short time.
Then it went back to 0.0C in the logs again.

Anyone have an idea if this is a WC or WMR 200 problem?
Same happens in both WC 1.2.x and 2.0.1.

Hi,

does Weathercat report a sensor-error? This happens on my WMR200 quite often but on the external sensor.

WeatherCat does report sensor error, though I seldom see one. Am using a Vantage Pro 2.

Yes it does report sensor errors. Sometimes for wind but mostly for the Internal Temperature measurement.

I tried the WeatherTracker on the same computer for several hours and WT did not have any problem at all to poll Int Temps from the WRM200.

Why can WT handle the temp polling when WC cannot? :/

Dear petter and WeatherCat troubleshooters,

Try resetting the data logger to see if that helps.  The instructions for doing this can be found on the WeatherCat Wiki:
