You could always train the sheep to walk up and down in straight lines whilst chomping away! :D

No problem to an electric hover mower, mine hovers over water just as well as over the grass. ;)


PS Thanks for adding wind direction.

Well I got a reply;

Unfortunately we don't have specific directions on how to do this for the various software/hardware combinations that are used on our site, but if you have a datalogger, it should be possible. You probably need to change a setting in your software configurations.

A typically useful reply! :lol:

That's what the parameters in the WL DLL allowed you to do. In the meantime Keith why not leave your PC running 24/7? Is it a power-hungry desktop or less hungry laptop? With the monitor off power consumption may not be too bad. How will you feel when we get a powerful overnight storm and you can't upload any data to WU? :cry:
Cheers,

I guess that's a reply for a 'user' rather than a 'developer'. But the implication is that it should work.

Yes, quite agree. Maybe you could contact them, on a developer level?
