Hi,
Could someone point me how to switch from CumulusMX to Weatherlink and back so that the data are up to date in both software ?
Thanks

Re: Software switch
I have maintained both Weatherlink and Cumulus data for over 10 years. Some people are still using VirtualVP program that allows running more than one weather program at a time from the same console, but that program is no longer supported and doesn't run on all platforms (still available to download). I run Cumulus full time, only to stop it twice a month to run WL for a short time and get the data in to Weatherlink. A 10 minute logger interval gives 17 days before data rollover, so on the 1st and 15th each month gets the full data into WL, with a day or two cushion.
Enjoy,
Paul

Re: Software switch
I've been doing it for years now by shutting MX down a few times a day & firing up Weatherlink with a command option to just download the data & then quit.
MX loads again after that. It's off air for around a minute.
Task Scheduler takes care of the starts & Stops.
PaulMy, you could experiment with the above & try once a day.

Re: Software switch
Maybe you can use Virtual Serial Ports Emulator from Eterlogic for Windows.
Free for 32 bits.

Re: Software switch
VSPE works fine when you have an unidirectional communication station that only send data.
For VP2 a bidirectionnel communication is needed so i don't think you can share the VP serial port.

Re: Software switch
I did run this on Windows10 64 bits with WsWin, Cumulus 1 and CumulusMX, but Weatherlink didn't work. (CRC-error)
