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?

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.
