It is an entirely legitimate choice if you *want* your hardware archive interval to be other than 300s. Longer archive intervals allow the recording in the datalogger of weather over a longer time period, but with less granularity. As long as your computer is not down for longer than the feasible time period, then you won't lose data. I find the default 300s to be a good tradeoff; 5m seems to be enough granularity and lasts long enough -- just over a week -- that it is very likely I can power the weewx computer at least for a while. (I haven't had a 7-day outage, but I know people who have, in the Ice Storm of 2008.) https://support.davisinstruments.com/article/90nhj8pr0t-how-much-data-can-be-stored-on-my-data-logger-usb-serial-wl-ip Of course, you should change it (as Tom told you how) if you want it to be 300s. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
