You can view it on my Weather (Current) page on the menu at the top of this page. So far, so good.

Turned out to be an update to my version of AVS did not like WeatherCapture Advance because it has no digi signature. £$%^&* I should have realised. Sorted.

I'm using the Weather Display software since the software since I had this with my previous station. I think for all its faults, my previous station from Waters & Stanton was a better unit. Problem was it had a propeller wind unit ans these are not as good as cupped units. However, the temp of the new unit seems a bit out, but the pressure problem can be adjusted for - no weather station will read the correct pressure out of the box, it needs to be adjusted since height and other geographic and environmental features can affect the local pressure. I'm hoping to spend a bit of time with it the weekend after next to finally get it working properly. I'll post my results on here. Yeah, running XP here too.

Have had the unit since October only just getting round to installing software and am a bit miffed about the accuracy of the temperature, the wind speed has not registered above 4mph although the windmill is in the open and the barometric pressure is a mile off. Ventus say adjust the altitude! All in all not the “Near Professional” station advertised. I should have asked ML&S how near is near. I am running XP Home with SP3.

Had to get a new temperature sensor from ML & S and it still took a great deal of time and effort to position it so that connected wirelessly to the main unit. Using the new software mentioned in my blog I have had no problems getting the data to the computer, but I am currently trying to get it working with third-party software so that I can go on-line with the data. That's going to be the subject of another blog at some time. I wonder what version of Windows M0AWI is using? Well it took a while, but the station’s working at the moment.

Cannot get it to work though, get this error message. "Unable to create file C:\.........WeatherStationInterface.exe CreateProcess failed code 5 Access is denied" In a normmal Windows message window. Any ideas how to get round this please. I also purchased from Martin Lynch & Sons recently a new WX-831 weather station.

I have just bought one. It seems well mode though the temperature reading from the wind chill sensor seems about 2 degrees out. I am a bit disappointed in the software aswell. Its odd that it has to be connected to the unit to function. I would like to keep long term records on my PC but this software will presumably only show as much data as the unit can hold (200 records - whatever that is). I have downloaded trials of the other compatible software but am not getting great results so far. Cheers Andy Hi there – how are you finding the weather station? I have just bought one.
