Intermittent downloading of data for console to computer
« on: January 18, 2014, 07:53:42 AM »
Hi

I have been using WC since it started and haven't had a problem with it at all. Well, that is until now. I keep getting messages that say 'Waiting for weather data to become ready' and get the spinning icon in the 'Today' window. In addition, the scale in the temperature window ranges between -30 to 20c, despite the temperature only varying between -1 and 12C in the last week. It is little more than a straight line. Any ideas?

Tim

Sounds like poor to none communications with your station Tim.

As first steps, check the USB connections, in particular the logger itself. Sometimes they can pop out and need to be reseated - power down the console before checking it.

Also replace the batteries in your console - if they get low, they can stop USB comms.

Dear Tim and WeatherCat David owners,

We have a list of troubleshooting tips on the WeatherCat Wiki for the Davis stations:

You might try going through those and seeing if any of those suggestions help.

Best of luck getting your station and computer talking once more!
