Web tag error with davis wll

From build 3044 the development baton passed to Mark Crossley. Mark has been responsible for all the Builds since. He has made the code available on GitHub. It is Mark's hope that others will join in this development, but at the very least he welcomes your ideas for future developments (see Cumulus MX Development suggestions).

It did it yesterday as well.

I get the same thing when I restart - but I'm not a WLL user, just the original data logger. According to @mcrossley it is to do with the number of data points available to MX at start-up for calculating the average wind speed. This may be a similar issue?

Memo to self: take another look at this for the next release, it would probably be better to err to a low (even zero) value than a high value.

Is it something that appeared recently? I've not seen it with the wind speed before.

Build 3244 included changes to average wind handling with several station types.

I was just about to stop CMX and edit the files with the correct high wind speed.. that wouldn't work. :lol:

Can you give me a little more detail please.

Is the "high" value coming from the catch-up data, or from the first "live" reading, or could be either?

I seldom have to do any catch-up, so I'm not sure on that. But, I did close CMX and immediately opened it again, and go the wind speed spike.

Occasionally, I have seen the theoretical solar value drop to zero on the graphs as well. That's not really a problem though.

Had some router issues, so I stopped CMX before I reset my router. Upon opening it, I had a big ol' spike of 23mph. 8-)
