Lacrosse 2308 Data not plotting
« on: November 14, 2013, 07:26:27 PM »
I have just moved and was setting up my station again. It worked fine until I moved it a from about 25 or 30 ft to  about 60 or 70 ft from the base station. It starts collecting data until it gets to about 80 or 90 per cent then just hangs and finally stops responding, then I have to force quit it. I have now moved it back to about 25 ft and it still won't plot any data.  tried unplugging the base and sensor to clear all the data, but it won't plot still.

Thanks, Doug

Tried the usual hardware fixes? (Re: Lacrosse 2308 Data not plotting)

Dear Doug and WeatherCat station maintainers,

I have just moved and was setting up my station again. It worked fine until I moved it a from about 25 or 30 ft to  about 60 or 70 ft from the base station. It starts collecting data until it gets to about 80 or 90 per cent then just hangs and finally stops responding, then I have to force quit it. I have now moved it back to about 25 ft and it still won't plot any data.  tried unplugging the base and sensor to clear all the data, but it won't plot still.

Sorry, I'm not LeCrosse station expert, but it seems to me that this has got to be a hardware issue.  Have you done the usual hardware troubleshooting things?  Does the station have fresh batteries?  Are all the electrical contacts in good shape?  No moisture or dirt where it doesn't belong? . . . etc.

We don't have a LeCrosse troubleshooting entry on the Wiki, alas you LeCrosse guys are something of an endangered species.  You might take a quick look at the Davis troubleshooting tips to see if anything might also apply to your case:

If you come across anything that we should add to the Wiki regarding LeCrosse stations, by all means say so!!

Sorry I can be of more help.

Cheers, Edouard

Thanks, Edouard for the response. Everything started plotting later in the day except my wind speed. The strange thing is my wind direction is fine but it only reads 000's for the speed. Maybe I should relax and maybe it will kick in too. I thought if the wind direction works why not the speed? I will let you know if anything changes.

Thanks, Doug
