The following was posted on the WD discourse forum but so far, I've had no responses to my post. So, here it is again on the WXForum.
Not sure exactly what the category should be so this may need to be moved elsewhere more appropriate…
I am having an intermittent issue (about every three days or so) with WD intermittently losing connection with my Davis VP2 Pro. The battery was recently replaced in the VP2 as has the super-cap with no change in symptoms. On the WD screen, I see RED for both the Data Quality and Data Received indicators.
Additionally, I notice in the system tray on my windows laptop that there may be two or more of the Real time Clientraw FTP, ver 10.2 processes running with both of them and showing counters incrementing. The contents of each also shows successful uploading of the clientraw.tx and customclientraw.txt files. Reviewing each of those processes shows no errors.
Unfortunately, if I don’t check the status of WD on a regular basis, I can miss when the stoppage occurs and I lose live data until I restart the entire process. I am using StartWatch, VirtualVP and VP Live and they seem to run just fine.
I wish there was some way I could get a text message to my phone whenever this problem happens so I can minimize the data loss.
Any thoughts or suggestions as what else I should check would be appreciated.
BTW, I’m running WD ver 10.37S-(b152).
