Changing Vantage Pro2 Archive Interval

[Bruce Rees]

Hi there,

Total noob here, I want to change the archive interval for my Vantage Pro2 to 5 minutes, I see the warning "Proceeding will erase all archive records."  what does this actually mean?  Will I lose any history for the station?  This is new install on an RPI4 so I'm not concerned about losing weewx data but wondering if it clears the console history?

Thanks!
Bruce

Yes, it does clear the console history. If you care about the values in there, you can use the wee_device utility with the --dump option to put them into the database.

First stop weewxd, then run the command

wee_device --dump

You may get multiple "primary key errors" if archive records are already in your database. You can ignore these.
