Title: Vantage pro2 and 6510usb data logger
Post by: skybox53 on November 11, 2021, 06:27:03 PM
Hello everyone,

I have a vantage pro 2 and just purchased a 6510USB data logger.  I also bought a usb 2.0 USB extender over Cat6.  I’m having difficulty with weather link (running on my desktop) seeing the Davis console via the extender.  When I click on USB as the medium to transfer data within weatherlink, it states that no usb available. Was hoping  someone here on the forum tried this same setup and can offer some insight as to why this is happening.

Much appreciated
Roger

not sure how it works on weatherlink. In the software I use, it is configured as serial

Is your 6510 data logger serial or usb?

Never mind, I got it working.  For those of you looking for a way to use 6510usb data logger - the usb extender works great to transfer data over Cat6 to a PC.

Best
