Weather Software > Macintosh Weather Software

Thinking of Switching from WeatherCat

(1/2) > >>

Naby:
I've been using WeatherCat for about six months since getting the USB data logger for my Davis Vantage Pro2. Ever since I started using WeatherCat I've had an issue where the software stops receiving data from my console. When I try to restart the software it hangs up. The only solution is to restart my computer which requires me to power cycle it to get it to restart. I've been in contact with the folks at WeatherCat but so far the issue is not resolved. They've been very quick to respond by the way. It may not even be the software but trying a different program may be the next step for me. It's sounds the like the three other software options are Weather Display, WeatherSnoop, and WeatherTracker. All I really want from software is the ability to archive data and to be able to upload to wunderground and CWOP. All three of these have free trials. Which one seems to be the most stable or seems to work the best with a Vantage Pro2?

Thanks,
Chris

I received an email that DougW replied but there's no reply?

Any opinions or thoughts on my question?

I've been running WeatherCat and WeatherSnoop as part of the test environment for the template sets.  Of the two,
WeatherCat provides much more in weather variables available to the website, and graphs.  I run Weather-Display (PC/Win) for my main site (and have for years), but I have no experience with it on the Mac -- it does provide the most weather variables and statistics of the three.

Hope this helps...

Best regards,
Ken

Thanks for the info. Are there any conflicts when you try to run more that one piece of software on one computer?

saratogaWX:
Running more than one weather software simultaneously is tricky.  With the old-style (pre green-dot) loggers, PC/Win users could use VirtualVP software (along with a suitable null-modem COM port emulator) to provide 4 Serial (COM) and 4 TCP/IP connections that weather software could use and think they each 'own' the Davis logger connection.

With the green-dot/later loggers, the VirtualVP won't work as it doesn't have the encryption handshake needed.

For MAC-native, I'm not aware of any software available at present to allow more than one weather software to operate at a time.  :(

Best regards,
Ken
