6.4.2 Log-file in case of error (ErrLog.txt)
Softwareversions for sensors without logger same or newer than V2.26 write a log-file (
ErrLog.txt
)
in case of errors (dataerrors or tranmission problems), in which the timepoint and kind of the error
is stored. Older versions displayed an error-message like
!p
or
data error
, which was displayed
permanently until the user clicked it away. This caused the problem that no further data were
written for the time the message was visible although the error did not exist any longer.
In version same or newer V2.26 also an error message appears, but this message is deleted
automatically when the error is removed. In this case an entry is written into the log-file.
6.4.3 Logfile when starting up (log.dat)
When the software for weatherstations and sensors with logger is started, the communications
between the computer and the weatherstation is stored in a log-file (
log.dat
). With this file you
may get important hints in case of problems.
Caution!
This log-file is overwritten each time, when the software is restarted. To keep this file,
store it in another place or rename it.
6.4.4 Show output (internal)
In the software under
VIEW
and
SHOW OUTPUT
the software lists all communication with the
weather station since the programm was started. Also the commands sent within the terminal
window of the weather32 software will be listed.
This list you may copy into the clipboard to store it in a textfile for checking the communication
in cases of problems.
6.5 Problem with Mobotix Cameras
The MWS 55V can be connected to some types of Mobotix WEB cams and display it's data in the
cam picture.
This feature was implemented by Mobotix into some models of Mobotix cams.
To learn more about this feature please contact Mobotix:
We heard of problems displaying data of MWS 55V in the WEB cam picture.
This problem is caused by disabling the COM-port of the MWS 55V after a data string has been sent.
Since firmware version 3.0244 from 20.08.2018 the COM port of MWS 55V can be enabled per-
manently which solves this issue. The command to perform is:
!S+18
You also can set the MWS 55V to a compatibility mode (MWS 5MV mode) which switches the
MWS 55V to data output each 2 seconds like the previous model MWS 5MV.
The command to switch to compatibility mode is:
!S+22
To set the MWS 55V back to original mode please use the following commands:
!S-18
and
!S-22
