thank you for searching first! that helps us keep the documentation in good shape. sorry the hardware pages are a bit stale... > Do these models allow for completely offline (no Internet, just intranet > (home) access) data extraction for processing by weewx? > yes > Does the SD card for the WS-2000 do any continuous collection? > If my computer is down, is any data maintained in the console that can be > retrieved later? > Is it "automatic" the way the Davis data logger would have the last 44 > hours of data (every minute collection) and my computer would get > everything missed to catch up and resume regular collection? > Or do I have to be aware of it, trigger the export on the console, and > move the SD card elsewhere to import it? > I see it has an archive mode, but I don't understand if that is merely for > console display or if it helps achieve what I'm asking. > the interceptor driver will read only 'live' data, not historical data from a logger. if the station works with the observer driver, then you might be able to get the read-from-logger-on-startup behavior that weewx provides for other stations like davis.
