Logs and Logging

For the Davis log files, you need to import the file called download.txt , produced by

Weather link. The 32 bit weather display conversion is for if the automatic conversion for

first time upgrade from version 7.39 was not successful.

If the 32 bit conversion when upgrading from 7.39 to 7.4+ does not work correctly, then

you can convert the log files one at a time using the option "convert weather display log

files to graphs". Custom log files

You can create a log files of your own design using WD's custom tags. First create a file

called "customtext.txt" in your "webfiles" directory. Then add custom tags as described on

the Custom Tags page.

Go to Setup menu and select "Log file recording", then select "Produce a custom text file,

then select "yes". And finally return to select "update frequency" and select an appropriate

interval.

Here is a sample "customtext.txt":

%date%,%time%,%dayrn%,%baro%,%temp%,%hum%,%dew%,%avgspd%,%dirdeg%,%indoortemp%,%indoorhum%,%indoordewfaren%

And here is the "customtextout.txt" that WD creates:

12/24/2002,10:31 AM,0.00 in.,29.628 in.,27.6 °F,48,10.5 °F,9.7 mph,330 °,71.1,38,44.2

Forecasts and Icons

Weather Display uses a number of different methods to determine which current weather

icon will be displayed, e.g.

• €Weather Display's analysis of the weather default

• €WM918/WMR918/VP/La Crosse 2310 forecast icon

• €Weather Display's interpretation of downloaded METAR reports

• €User specified thresholds for fog, rain, snow

• €User selection

WM918/WMR918 forecast icon

If you set this to display, the icon that appears on the programs screen will be the forecast

icon from the station. This icon will also be used in the summary.gif file.

If you select "Do not display", then it will not be visible at all.

If you select "Auto update", then you can have the icon updated via input daily weather, or

have it updated from a downloaded METAR (see the section → Getting Weather Reports and

Metar Data).

Weather Display's interpretation of METARs

Weather Display can extract the "Conditions" phrase from a downloaded METAR. If you

have ticked "Coded" instead of "Decoded", it will use the 2 letter condition codes in the

METAR, e.g. RN for rain, and use that to determine the icon to be displayed.
