Notes

• €If you are using the WDMYSQL or clientraw.txt update utilities, make sure they are

completely shut down before beginning the software upgrade. If these applications are

running, they will appear as icons on the Windows task bar notifications area.

• €It is a good idea to keep an archive folder of Weather Display program downloads. If you

encounter a problem with a new version, you can go back to an older version by following

the steps above.

Export data from WeatherLink to Weather Display

I know that WeatherLink is supposed to be able to output a file called "download.txt", but

where do I find that option in WeatherLink, and then, how do I get that data to replace

Weather Display's data for this month.

Download.txt is located in your station directory.

I am assuming that you have the datalogger attached and have installed the Weatherlink

software. If you haven't installed the Weatherlink software, you won't have the

download.txt.

Next be sure that Wdisplay is not working, then boot the weather link software, download

the station into the Weatherlink software. Then exit weatherlink software. Boot Wdisplay,

go to import logs and then open weatherlink station directory (that is the directory you set

up for the Davis software). Then click on import from davis, click the wl5.2 option find the

directory exactly, click convert and ta dah!! (but it depends on the weather link version and

what extra sensors you have logged in the download.txt file, so no gaurentees it will work)

Of course you should remember not to click on the Weathedisplay to clear the archive after

download. That is why you can't find or don't have any data remaining in the logger. You

have stuff on the console though.

And if you have your weather display software read and running, with it recognizing the VP

and all the goodies checked. To down to Davis Weatherlink area and have it imported on
