After several days VVP keeps sending same data...
« on: January 09, 2013, 10:24:34 PM »
After several days of working, my VVP seems to lock-up and keeps sending same data over and over. At the bottom of the VVP window, it complains about a file access error.

If I quit and restart VVP, the data resumes uploading until another several days to a week. It's very frustrating because I have no way of knowing when it freezes, so a day or two might go by before I realize my data is missing.

Is it possible that 1.5GB of memory (running Windows 7 on a netbook) is not enough, and perhaps the VVP data file gets switched to virtual memory? Or is this a problem with VVP? If there is no solution, is there any software out there that could alert me is no (new) data is being sent to a certain address or through a certain port?

TIA,
Ron

You did not say how you were connected with VVP.       Com Port or TCPIP.

If com port try clicking the box to allow VVP to restart the data logger

Thanks for the reply. No, I did not have the box checked to allow VVP to restart the data logger. I didn't do that since my data logger is the serial version; however, I have to use a serial to usb converter since Notebooks do not have serial ports. Is it okay to allow VVP to restart the data logger even though the actual logger is a serial port version?

Last night was a disaster, the file access error reported again only after running a hour this time. Here is the log I finally was able to remember to save:

I disconnected (software wise) VVP and reconnected and got these errors tonight

I have WL connected via COM ports, and WD connected via TCP 127.0.0.1:3355.

Hello

I am using vvp with cumulus and weatherlink and after some hours everything freezes.i am using tcp/ip since i tried and failed to work with vcom ports.Also i realised that vvp uses many resources.Is it normal? Can i do anything else? Some hints or tips maybe :)
Thanks in advance

I just checked my VVP, and it uses about 3.3MB of memory which isn't bad at all. Try using Eterlogic VSPE as you vcom software. It's very easy to configure, and it's free for 32-bit Windows. Just make sure you create 2 "pairs" (one for each weather station software you run). Also make sure you delete all the old vcom drivers you may have installed before installing Eterlogic VSPE.

As for why everything freezes, I don't know. I run WeatherLink and Weather Display. I have never had a problem with WeatherLink, but several months ago, I had issues with Weather Display suddenly stop reading the data after several days. After several builds of Weather Display, the author must of fixed the problem because I don't have that problem anymore.

The last problem I had was VVP would stop reading from the weather station, and complain about "file access denied". With the help of Beaudog, I ticked the "Let VPLive restart the Davis USB data logger (only for USB data loggers)" box, and that has fixed my problem. I have been running for 8.5 days now without a hiccup.

BTW, I have WeatherLink collecting data via IP, and Weather Display via com port. Good luck Nick!
