Problem Solution
The Daily Rain is not correct The program must be running at midnight for today's daily rainfall to be correct.
The Weather Station does not store daily rainfall.
The monthly rainfall reported in the
NOAA report does not agree with the
sum of the daily rainfall.
This is due to the station total rainfall reset by the user, or the values for minimum
or maximum rain edited by the user. Reference 6.19.2 for more details to correct
this.
How do I change my NOAA report data? This is done in the Archive Settings window, and not the database. Reference
Section 7.2 for more details.
When I update one of the fields in the
daily summary data, this change is not
updated in the monthly or yearly
summary data.
You must edit each of these data fields. For example, if the minimum temperature
on January 9, 2000 is changed, and it is the minimum for the month and year, you
must change this field in the monthly summary panel and the yearly summary panel.
The Alarm Sound will not play This feature requires a sound card.
This is not a problem with VWS, but with your sound card. Contact your sound
card manufacturer
Some of the check boxes on the
Parameters Display Panel are dimmed
Not all parameters can be displayed with all of the weather elements. For example,
graphs require historical data, and it does not make sense to plot sunrise.
The displays do not retain their position
when exiting the program.
Make sure you have enough memory in your computer to save the displays. The
display positions are saved in the file VWS \setup\position.bin. If this file is
corrupted, close VWS, delete this file and restart Virtual Weather Station. You will
need to reset the displays again.
Try a different drive. The drive you installed Virtual Weather Station on may be
read only.
After hiding Virtual Weather Station with
the taskbar icon, and recalling the display
by double clicking on the taskbar, the
window does not refresh
This is a Windows problem. Minimize and maximize the application again to
refresh.
One of the sensors is not updating, and
VWS will not begin executing (WMR-
918 or WMR-968 only).
Virtual Weather Station requires all of your sensors to operate to properly obtain
data. If one sensor is not functioning due to batteries or interference, deselect this
sensor. See Section 6.5.6, Sensor and Battery Status (WMR-918 and WMR-968
only) for more details.
My system clock is losing time when I
run Virtual Weather Station.
Use the Synchronization feature in Virtual Weather Station. Select Settings |
Synchronize Date and Time from the menubar. Note - you must be the administrator
on an NT machine for this to work.
You may have a bad ROM BIOS chip.
You may need a new battery on the motherboard.
Power management software in Windows can cause clock time loss.
It may be a Windows 95 and 98 problem. Windows NT handles this better because
of the operating system design.
When you connect your weather station to the communication port, Windows must
process interrupts to read this data. With weather stations, this occurs every 3
seconds. This causes the clock to slow down.
