I'm not sure what you are referring to. The console has some memory for odds and ends like the graph on its screen, highs and lows, etc., but it does not store data records. Only the logger does that.
A standard Davis logger holds 2560 records. For a 5 minute archive interval, that's just short of 9 days worth of data --- nowhere near 3 years. I have no idea how much memory is in your belfryboy logger, but I assume it's something similar. -tk On Mon, Mar 20, 2017 at 3:11 AM, <walther.sebast...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Tom, > > thanks for your reply. > > I tried your suggestion with the wee_device --dump command (after backing > up the sql db) > It seems that the tool dumped all records out of the logger memory, which > go back until yesterday 16:30 but it does not get ahold of the data stored > in the VP2 console memory. > So I'm seeting here with the 35 records in my sql db I have had anyway > since yesterday. > > Any chance to get weewx download the stuff right out of the console memory > instead of the data logger memory? > > Sebastian > > Am Sonntag, 19.
