CSV extension Loop or Archive ?

[Jacques-Olivier Farcy]

Hi,

I am using with a Vantage Pro 2 the CSV extension.

I am not to understand the sentence :

binding - The binding determines whether the file will be updated with every LOOP packet or archive record. Possible values are loop or archive. Default is loop




Is somebody can explain this to me please ?

Data comes from the weather statio9n in LOOP packets and REC packets.  Depending on the station the LOOP packets may contain observation data as often as every few seconds up to every say 90 seconds, and may contain either all observations or just some observations.  The REC packets are the data packets containing all observations, which will subsequently be saved by weewx in the archive database

Weewx collects the LOOP packets of data and builds statistical records of highs and lows, and may also build archive RECords every 5 - 30 minutes.

The archive RECs are what weewx stores in the database - and values in the archive will be averages obtained over the archive interval.

To answer the original question - do you want the CSV file updated every LOOP packet, or every REC packet?

Tx Tom - I knew it was documented somewhere but when I looked I never found it hence why I gave the answer I did.... was probably looking in the wrong document!!

If you just want to keep the data use rec data not the loop

Hi Andrew,

And thank you for your answer.
I want to keep every data of every day because i need to be able to check them.

So i understand it is Loop for me.
I know it could make a lot of datas, but i will zip them.
