Thinking of Switching from WeatherCat

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,

Thanks. I was just curious if I trialed another software if I could keep WeatherCat running at the same time.

I unfortunately switched to an iMac, I think because it was an all inone and all that stuff. Used weatherdisplay almost exclusively. The part that I miss in software is the PC version of Weatherdisplay as I could get a lot of information regarding my extra transcievers and graph it, great data nd all that.
I am seeing that with a OSx software that it is a whole different elephant. in the mean time until either I get a PC or that WD is more compatible, Weather Cat is probably the best out there. I couldn't get Weathersnoop to work , I am guessing it is the OS , El Capitan that causes heaaches.

My 4 year old mac mini runs Weathercat and Fusion plus a scheduler plus my screencapture programs.
Fusion runs VVP , 3 PC weather-programs, fling upload, ftp server and some more.
So your imac could easily run Weathercat next to a PC emulator (Fusion or another one) and WD
If you do not want to run any other Mac Weather-program you do not need VVP and can run Fusion + WD.
Probably you still have windows7 around from your old PC. If so, Fusion will probably cost less then 80$ and you are back in full WD-business again.

Well, I don't run any weather program 24/7 anymore, since we got the IP version to play nice with your templates. As long as the modem is working we are fine.
The wife is still working on her PC/Visa and hopefully will up grade to a new machine. At that point, I will put on her old machine WeatherDisplay and Blue Iris . The major problem is finding a place to put it. U

I was running the Davis software on a windows machine and weather cat on my Mac
every 10 days because of a conflict data would stop getting sent to WU
I turned off the Davis software and everything has been perfect for 6 months
