Topic: WL SAVING DATA TO A FILE

[DAVE Z]

I am trying to set up IPTIMELAPSE to put my camera snapshot on my website. I want to put the temperature + wind over the bottom of the image. IPTIMELAPSE has an option to take the weather data from a file. My problem is I am not sure how to get WXLINK to dump the weather text into a file (The file will be on my PC)   so IPTIMELAPSE will retrieve it.  Is that something WL will even  do?

WL? WeatherLink.com or WeatherLink PC?

WL=The Weatherlink 6.0.4 software I a using on my PC.

It sounds like you might want just a few specific readings listed in a new text file eg every 5 minutes? In that case use the Internet Settings facility** and create a .htx template file for the parameters you require and set it to be processed every 5 mins. Look at WL Help for further details.

** Just because it's called Internet Settings doesn't mean you have to upload the processed file to a website. It is a general purpose templating feature that will happily save a file to specified local folder location.

Thanks, I found the option "Local Transfer Enabled"
