Hi Gary, many thanks for your answer. My setup is as follows: * WD running on Windows. Keeps 3.5 years of data * Vantage Vue with USB datalogger * temperature sensor in jar via 1-wire USB interface to log the "solar" radiation
Don't rush with instructions; I'll wait. I have all hardware in place and can start working on it anytime. I will follow your suggestion how to start converting the data, looks reasonable and risk-free. Side question: is there a special setting in weewx that enables data extraction from the Davis datalogger?
