Retrieving Data From the Data Logger
The data loggers for Vantage Pro, Vantage Pro2, and Weather Envoy contain
data and weather variables that were not used by WeatherLink 5.0 or 5.1, such as
UV, solar radiation, rain rate, and ET (Evapotranspiration). Versions of Weather-
Link 5.2 or later allow to view and use these variables that earlier versions did
not. Depending on the archive interval used on your data logger, up to 200 days
of this data may be stored on the data logger that you can retrieve and incorpo-
rate into a version of WeatherLink 5.2 or later.
To incorporate this data into WeatherLink 5.2 or later data files:
1. Select New Station in the File menu and create a temporary weather station
folder. (See Adding a New Station for more information)
2. Select Download in the File menu or click on the Download icon.Weather-
Link does a full download of all data stored in the data logger.
3. Select Browse in the Window menu or click on the Browse icon.
4. Scroll to the beginning of the data file, and write down the time and date of
the first entry in the database.
5. Open the original WeatherLink station using the Open Station option in the
File menu.
6. Select Browse from the Window menu or click on the Browse icon.
7. Select Delete Records in the Browse Menu.
8. Select records for the days following the earliest date in the temporary sta-
tion database.
Note: Do not select the records for the day the temporary database begins. Each record can be
deleted individually for that day in the next step.
9. Individually select and delete each record in the data base that is dated after
the earliest record in your temporary database from the Browse Window.
Note: WeatherLink only downloads data for dates and times not already in the database. Delet-
ing records allows it to download new data.
10. Select Download in the File menu or click on the Download icon to down-
load data from the data logger.
11. Select Delete Station in the File menu and select the temporary station you
created in Step 1 to delete it from the list of stations currently in use.
Recalculate THSW Index
WeatherLink 5.3 and later support a new derived data parameter, the Tempera-
ture Humidly Sun Wind (THSW) Index. If your station contains a solar radiation
sensor, this value can be calculated for existing data by selecting the Recalculate
