I'm planning on converting my VWS data (from 2007 to present) into weewx. I plan on writing (modifying) a python script to read all of my daily VWS files and add each records into the archive table. I'm using cvsConvert (by Tom Keffer, and updated by wbphelps and Jim Myers) as my inspiration. For some reason, my VWS cvs files only have data from 2015 on. But, I do have every daily text file from 2007 onwards (almost 3500 files), so I would like to capture all those records in the archive table. A couple of questions:
1) The VWS data does not have dewpoint, heatindex or windgust10 values. Do I need to add these values to the archive table as I'm inputting records? 2) I have tested my installation using the simulator, then switched over to test the davis driver. All seems to be working. After a few minutes, I switched the VWS data logger back to VWS so that I wouldn't miss any records. If I start with a new archive table (using sql to delete current test records) will there be any issues after I update the table with all of my VWS archived records? 3) The VWS had an archive rate of 15 minutes. Can I switch to 5 minutes once I switch over to weewx, or will this cause problems with historical averages? 4) is storing this many records in an sqlite table okay? 5) any other gotchas in doing a conversion to weewx?
