rain in detail screen (and same applies for rain for each day of the last 7 days. When
setting/resetting there, the changes only apply to that data on that screen. To correct rain
totals under view, averages/extremes you need to change the last rain total for the day (i.e.
the last entry just before the daily rain total is reset) in the log file for the appropriate
month.
If you have lost your rain totals, then you should be able to find the last good rain total in
the log file.
Note that you can restore the log file for a month if it is bad, but the graph data is still
available for that month (under Graph history), by using the action Convert log files to
graphs, but select convert graph files to log files, and then make sure the correct graph
data file is selected (for example month102005.inf for October 2005), and then click
Convert. Wait for the Finished alert.
FAQ: Graphs show spikes and when the mouse rolls over
the spikes, abnormal readings appear
This appears most often with the dew point or windchill graph lines. The problem is
display-only issue due to an out of range graphing error. The actual data is not affected.
The solution is to extend the graphing range. Either use the lift/lower buttons in the Setup,
Graph Setup, or in the Graph Setup, change the graph ranges to prevent the spikes.
FAQ: COM port error
This often results because another software application is using the same COM port.
Possible conflicting devices include PDA synchronization applications or bluetooth cell
phone synchronization programs, etc.
Make sure no other software is accessing the COM port, especially other weather station
software applications (for example, Heavy Weather with La Crosse weather stations). Also
note that Microsoft Windows can swap COM port numbers.
If you are unable to resolve the COM port failure, you might be able to use a USB to serial
adaptor, or a serial port PCI card. Windows Device Manager will identify the assigned COM
ports. To access Windows Device Manager, do the following:
1. €Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
1. €Double-click System.
1. €On the Hardware tab, click Device Manager.
FAQ: La Crosse 2010/ 7000/ 2200/ 2500 type station
If no data is coming from the separate WS2010-15 data loggerl.
After inserting the batteries, you need to wait 20 minutes before any software should
access the data logger. Also it's a good idea to place the data logger away from the PC, and
put RF baluns clamps around the serial cable. Note that Weather Display gets the data
every 3 minutes or 5 minutes, depending on the station type.
Note, you can now use the newer La Crosse 3600 with Weather Display without the need to
run Heavy Weather, thanks to 3rd party software developed by Sandere of Denmark.
