Data Logger

(1/3) > >>

ShoreWX:
I'm new to the weather software world.  I have been reading posts about software and I'm thinking of either Cumulus or Weather Display.  I have a Davis Vantage Pro 2.  My question is, do I need to buy the Davis Weather Link to get a data logger or is there something else I can use?

ValentineWeather:
WL should be included with data logger. Last time I looked it was but be safe and check. Weatherlink contains drivers required for console to be able to communicate with a PC so I would say "yes" weather link is required even with 3rd party software's for initial setup.

PaulMy:
The Davis Weatherlink package contains the datalogger hardware that connects the console to a computer, and also at no extra cost the Weatherlink software.  The Weatherlink software is very useful for the station settings.  But you will likely find you would like to use alternate software, like Cumulus, for data saving, uploads and your own website, etc..
 
There are third party data loggers available at lower cost and without the WL software.  Search the forum for belfryboy.
 
Enjoy,
Paul

ShoreWX:
Thanks for the info.  I just checked bellfryboy.  That's all too technical for me.  I need something I can just plug in...guess I'll buy the Davis WL with logger and start there.

Do you have a serial port on your computer? I have one for sale if you do.
