How does Weewx collect data? Let's take my setup as example. I have a Davis Vantage Vue with a data logger configured to store data every 1 minute. In my Weewx configuration, the `loop_request` param in the `[Vantage]` section is set to 3, and the `archive_interval` in the `[StdArchive]` section is set to 300.
In this case, if I am correct, the `archive_interval` value is ignored, since I have my own configured in my data logger. But what about the loop mode? As stated in the guide, `WeeWX will then start monitoring live sensor data (also referrred to as 'LOOP' data)`: so the data in the data logger are ignored? Currently, in my setup, Weewx is storing data in my database every 1 minute and for sure this value comes from the data logger, since I didn't setup it in weewx.conf. So: - is my weewx storing data every 1 minute, because such data are fetched from data logger (which is configured to store data every 1 minute)? - if true, what's the point of loop mode? how is it used by weewx? - if false, why is weewx storing data every 1 minute? how frequently data are read in loop mode?
