Topic: installing firmware upgrades

What is the proper procedure for installing firmware upgrades to the Davis VP2 console? I've searched all over the Davis site, but couldn't find any instructions. My console firmware revision date is April 10, 2006, so I can use the direct-to-PC install

If I remember correctly, there is a readme with instructions in the zip file you download.

Remember to download the console's archive data into whatever weather software you're using, especially if you're using WeatherLink. Do it right before you upgrade the firmware. This is because the upgrade process may clear the data logger's archive data.

There is a firmware history.pdf, but no readme.txt. The pdf says to place the console in set up mode,and that's all, but do I not remove the power to the console before upgrading?

You can use the direct to pc install.  Any firmware after 2005 is supported.  I just did mine to 1.7 from 1.6.
