Monitoring VP wireless reception

[Jonathan Ryshpan]

Is this info from the manual still valid?  I can't access this site on my server, nor can I find any file called rxcheck.png there.

Wireless Reception

If you are missing archive records, receiving bad archive records, or your current conditions values don't update as expected, you may have problems with the wireless reception from the Vantage Pro Integrated Sensor Suite (ISS). You can access a chart which displays the percentage of successful packets received at: http://[your_weather_site_url]/rxcheck.png.
If the graph displays points equal to zero or at very low values, you should investigate why your wireless reception is so poor. Possible solutions include: changing the gain on your VP Console, moving your VP Console to improve reception or perhaps moving your ISS for better reception.

Is it possible to monitor the reception from a temp/soil moisture unit as well as the ISS?

 

Thanks.

Hi Jonathan,
Yes still valid. Believe that it is off by default,but you can log
onto the Wview Management webpage then look for:
STATION TAB
Miscellaneous
Do RX Check (Vantage Pro/Vue only):
Check that and it will start to be generated.

This is checked, as it has been for a long time.

Thanks - jon

Indeed commented out. This is documented in another place in the
manual, which I should have read.

Mea Culpa - jon
