Davis webtags return zeros

[Dinant]

It also implements the following web tags (Davis only):

<#battery>
<#txbattery>
<#DavisTotalPacketsReceived>
<#DavisTotalPacketsMissed>
<#DavisNumberOfResynchs>
<#DavisMaxInARow>
<#DavisNumCRCerrors>
<#DavisFirmwareVersion>

I have a Davis Vantage Pro and a weather envoy and this is what I got in build 3037:

$battery="4.71"
$txbattery="ok"
$DavisTotalPacketsReceived="0"
$DavisTotalPacketsMissed="0"
$DavisNumberOfResynchs="0"
$DavisMaxInARow="0"
$DavisNumCRCerrors="0"
$DavisFirmwareVersion="3.12"

Why am i getting those zeros?

Have you enabled the option to read the reception stats, in the station settings?

Just curious, and I may have missed something, but why are these tags optionally read and processed?

[steve]

Because not everyone is interested in them, and reading them is slow and requires special action which interrupts the reading of actual data.

Yep - missed that, thanks Steve.

No I missed that too.

For the forum archive:
Under Settings, Station settings, Options, there is an option called "Read Davis rececption stats".
I think I've found a small textual mistake. Change the text "Rececption" in "Reception".

I have enabled the option and now the Davis webtags contain numbers.

Thanks Steve

Yes, someone else pointed out the typo quite some time ago, and I forgot to correct it. I'll do it in the next build.
