Weather Envoy Additional Sensor

[wurzelmac]

Hello all,

this thread is the sequel to this thread ...

Ok, thanks again Edouard for taking time. In the meantime I stumbled over something interesting in the Weather Envoy User Manual on page 20:



So I think the Windows version has an extra sector within Station Config to turn on additional Temp sensors. Interesting that the guys from Davis removed the picture in this manual. Anybody out here to test this on a Windows machine:



Cheers,

Now I think I can take this one to an end:

After *borrowing* a WeatherLink installation for Windows I got the additional Channel running on WeatherCat. This is how I did it:

? Installing WeatherLink on a Windows machine (old Acer Laptop)
? Connecting the USB data logger into the Acer
? Running WeatherLink
? Following the Walkthrough of WeatherLink, and
? within Station Configuration ticked 2nd Temp
? Cleaning WeatherLink on a Windows machine (because it was only *borrowed*)

This damned Station Configuration (do you notice the *small* differences???) is not available within the MacOS software of WeatherLink. 

MacOS:


Windows:


Now, what shall I say? I am really disappointed about Davis... 

Cheers,
Reinhard

Nice bit of manoeuvring to get configured Reinhard. Apple has always been the poor step-child at Davis. Glad you have sorted it.

Dear Reinhard, Blick, and WeatherCat fans,

Now, what shall I say? I am really disappointed about Davis... 

I definitely agree.  If you can spare the time, why don't you cut and paste this posting and turn it into a quick email that could be sent to Davis's technical support email address.  That won't cost you much time and it really should be reported as a bug.

Here is the brief reply from Davis:

Hello,
 
It is not a feature in the MAC software.

So I think it is up to you, Stu, to make this into a feature in the WeatherCat software.

Dear Reinhard and WeatherCat Mac faithful,

Wow, that's just plain wrong.  It cannot be that much work and besides most of WeatherLink is written in Java so it should work on Mac, PC, and Linux.  It is hardly a surprise but most definitely a disappointment . . . .
