Is there a way to save off the raw data exactly as it comes out of the data logger? I'm having an issue with wind direction using an ultrasonic anemometer. I understand when there is no wind, it probably can't give a direction (but seems to end up defaulting to 360), but even when there is wind sometimes, it is reading exactly 360 although wind direction was clearly not that.
 
I need to show the manufacturer "raw data" from the data logger.  It can't be processed by any drivers.  Thanks

The data emitted by a Davis Vantage is in coded binary. It would look like gibberish.

The data that is printed by weewxd when run from the command line is fairly raw. I say "fairly" because StdWXCalculate may have added some values to it. However, if you set all the options in [StdWXCalculate]/[[Calculations]] to 'hardware', then it will just pass the hardware values along.
