change archive interval?

[graha...@gmail.com]

i have wview data collected since 2007 that i do not want to lose.

the archive interval on the VP2 is 30 mins, which is fine for historical recording.

wview allows reports to be generated every minute, irrespective of the archive interval

i have just realised that weewx ties report generation period to the archive interval, so the old 30 mins is far too long.

5 mins would be good.

would weewx cope with my changing the archive interval on VP2 to 5 mins from 30 mins, in the sense of still reporting the older data?

cheers

Hi,

Provided you are using v3.7.0 or later WeeWX will have no problems handling your data with various different archive intervals. if you simply stop WeeWX, change the archive interval in weewx.conf/on the hardware and then restart WeeWX there should be no need to do anything else. Though if you manipulate any databases it would be advisable to rebuild the daily summaries using wee_database before restarting WeeWX.
