Topic: wee_device --clear-memory

Does anyone know what the wee_device --clear-memory command actually does for Davis stations? The documentation is a bit confusing.

I'm guessing that it only clears the archive memory (ie logger memory as opposed to console memory) with a CLRLOG command. Or does it also issue additional clear commands like CLRDATA that will additionally target console memory?

according to the code, it just does 'CLRLOG', at least in weewx 5

take a look at drivers/vantage.py - the clear_memory function invokes clearLog, which sends CLRLOG.

OK thanks. That makes sense and fits in with what I was expecting, but just wanted to double-check
