Station logger interval

Post by Dennisdg »

Just installed MX 3.7.0 (build 3089) the logger interval check for Davis VP2 stations warns of a missmatch, Station logger 30 mins and MX 10 mins.
Doesn't seem to cause an issue, I am using a WeatherLink USB data logger. Does anyone know how to change the Station logger interval or should I?

Please see Mark's most recent answer at viewtopic.php?p=144926#p144926, but this is also explained in many earlier posts if you had searched.

This is just a warning. Its best to keep the logger intervals the same to avoid excessively long start-ups, but it isn't mandatory.

I have put the warning in because lots of people aren't aware they have the issue.

Some people may choose to run with a MX interval of say 5 minutes and a station logger of 30 minutes because they say need to cope with extended offline periods. That is a conscious decision though, and they can ignore the warning.
