Just about to swap my SHT11 with the SHT31....
With regards to putting the Console in Setup Mode,
IE <Done> + <-> buttons,
Does anyone know what the timeout is before the console exits the setup mode of it's own accord.
Seem to remember it going back to normal operation by it's self last time I worked on the station.
Also,
Is there any issue with temporarily changing the transmit channel on the ISS while it's down, so if the console exits setup no rogue data will be received?
Thanks
Phil.
I always change the transmit channel at the ISS to avoid the issue that you are concerned about. Quick and easy to do. However, I always check the console after I return the ISS to my desired channel to ensure the console is still receiving data using my desired channel.
I am unaware of any timeout issue using the setup approach, but it wouldn't surprise me if Davis would add that "feature." However, if that feature does exist, it is not mentioned in the Console Manual (Rev. M; June 5, 2015). Rather, it states "Exit Setup Mode by pressing and holding DONE until the Current Weather screen displays."
Per CW2274 posted immediately below, this timeout "feature" does exists and is 30 minutes. Davis should have stated that in its Console Manual rather than making folks learn the hard way. That said, this issue is one of many examples where the value of the WXForum is proven priceless once again! Users learn the secrets that manufacturers don't publicize for whatever reason.
