Data Logger

[John Clark]

Every once in a while I see "data logger full" on the screen of my Acurite  interface and I was wondering, is there a way to force a dump? Normally wouldn't care but I had to restart early on and was figuring there might be some info in there I lost (unless it is a FIFO system). Far from stressing over it, just curious.

My Acurite console been full for over a month now; but data is being saved in a database, so I'm not to worried.

the acurite driver only reads 'live' data.  we tried to make it read data from the logger, but the firmware is just too buggy and unreliable.  if you look at the code of acurite.py you can see the options to enable it.

also, there is no way to clear the logger from software.  nor is there any way to adjust the logging parameters, or any of the other things that one would typically do with a data logger.

one benefit of reading the data from the logger is that you also get 'inside humidity'.  but i think you'll find that the resulting instability is not worth it.

Restart of an old thread.

From what I read on another site, the Acurite PC software does clear the data logger.  Is there no way for Weewx to do the same?

I don't really care about the actual data on the logger - Weewx does this on its own - but having the message appear on the Acurite

display is a minor annoyance.  I have the 01536 model which does not have the USB mode settings that can be used to disable

the logger.
