WeatherLinkPC (6.0.5) always has trouble reading the 513 pages of historical data from the IP datalogger. It will time out long before it ever reads 513 pages sequentially. In the past, I have just tried again, and it would restart where it left off and I would eventually get there. (Eg if it read 100 pages, then when I tried a 2nd time, it would say it had 413 pages to read). Now all of a sudden, it restarts at 513 pages each time, so I will never, ever get the data completely read.
Anyone have any clues why the behaviour might have changed ?
I have a VP2 with IP data logger, and normally user Weather Display to read the data and do everything else. I turn my PC off each night, and WeatherDisplay extracts the missing data from the datalogger. Every now and again, this process doesn't work, and I end up with a multi-hour hole in my historical records. The solution to this in the past has been to user Weatherlink to extract the overnight data from the data logger, and import it into my database. Often I can use a web download (instead of direct to the IP address), but this assumes the IP data logger was able to get the packets through to the server. In last night's case, the web download missed 40 minutes.
