Vantage driver error

[Andy Thompson]

I am currently getting a vantage driver error in Weewx that is stopping the show. I have a Vantage Pro 2, running a rasberri pi 3. Brand new install of Weewx.

What is the error ? You have your hardware set at 1800 sec interval which is odd and you didn’t provide a long enough log snippet…..

[Tom Keffer]

These are classical symptoms of corrupt memory in the logger. The giveaway is the log entry that says there are 9 pages to be retrieved, but the first page already shows descending timestamps.

To fix, see the section Corrupt memory in the wiki.

The error is 

Aug 02 14:51:34 ThompsonFarms weewxd[663]: ERROR weewx.drivers.vantage: LOOP batch try #1; error: Expected to read 99 chars; got 0 instead

Tom, I will sort through the corrupt memory in Wiki.

[Vince Skahan]

Tom can you describe what does a 'normal' not-corrupted setup look like ?   This comes up so often and I never can figure out what you're looking at and how to quantify abnormal vs. normal.

Is it possible (or reasonable) to log something showing it walking through the pages ?

[Andy Thompson]

Here is a longer snippet of my log. Lately it it seems that Weewx gets hung where it requests 200 loop packets and doesn't do anything.

This comes up so often and I never can figure out what you're looking at

There is usually some common things like the pages thing Tom pointed out and I think it mostly happens when there is an issue with power to the console, or at least that's when it happened to me a few years ago, after that I put my console on a UPS and it hasn't re-occurred.

Is it possible (or reasonable) to log something showing it walking through the pages ?

+1 and as an added bonus it may reduce emails to the list if it people could follow a link for self help, instead of cryptic exceptions that are meaningless to non-programmers

What we could do is calculate the number of expected records, then decrement as each one is processed. If the counter is non-zero after exiting the loop then the memory must be corrupt.

In theory this should work, but I'll have to think through if it could generate false positives.

All,

I wanted to update and say that I got it working. However, I am still getting that error that Vince seen saying that the hardware archive interval is 1800 not 300 like its supposed to be. Where do I go about changing that? I double checked my config file and it is set to 300 in there.

[Tom Keffer]

See the docs, option --set-interval.

Thank you Tom. That worked!

"supposed to be" is a funny word. It is an entirely legitimate choice
if you *want* your hardware archive interval to be other than 300s.

Longer archive intervals allow the recording in the datalogger of
weather over a longer time period, but with less granularity. As long
as your computer is not down for longer than the feasible time period,
then you won't lose data.

I find the default 300s to be a good tradeoff; 5m seems to be enough
granularity and lasts long enough -- just over a week -- that it is very
likely I can power the weewx computer at least for a while. (I haven't
had a 7-day outage, but I know people who have, in the Ice Storm of
2008.)

https://support.davisinstruments.com/article/90nhj8pr0t-how-much-data-can-be-stored-on-my-data-logger-usb-serial-wl-ip

Of course, you should change it (as Tom told you how) if you want it to
be 300s.

Tom I shut down my vantage station for 30 minutes and restarted to capture what normal catchup looks like in the logs, if you have interest in adding that to your wiki page. Let me know if you want me to email the log snippets…
