Import data Davis VP2

[mitmania]

Hello wonder if it is possible to recover old data from two years of my Davis VP2 because I'm going to install the Cumulus instead of Weatherlink for the management of my site .... piavemeteo.altervista.org .... Thank you!

As far as I am aware this is not directly possible. However, I have recently read of a 'long winded - work around'. It is possible to convert/import your WL files into Weather Display (sorry for the mention). No need to register, you can just use the demo for the short time required. Then, to convert to Cumulus, see this thread.

Good luck.

Thanks for the reminder about that, Duke, I'd completely forgotten about it. That's useful for anyone wanting to convert WD data too; occasionally people ask for that.

I know that a few people have converted Weatherlink data directly, but as far as I'm aware no-one has made their code available. Perhaps it's not in a suitable form to share. As this seems to be an increasingly common request, I'll try to find some time to write something myself and make it available.

That would be advantageous for people wishing to take the 'step up' to Cumulus

Thanks to all for the answers !

I've started work on my converter this evening, and got quite a lot of it done; I hope to have it ready to try in a day or two.

Great ..... look forward to hearing from you!

The converter is ready for testing. See this thread for details: https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=11349
