WS23XX Communications Delay Setting

The optional configuration variable “WS23XX Communications Delay” is a setting that allows you to tweak the delay between communications with the console when using WUHU in Direct Serial Mode with a WS-23XX console.

After watching the behavior of the Heavyweather application and experimenting with various delays, a technique was developed to attempt to maximize the number of updates received from the console. The technique is to avoid communications with the console when the console is attempting to communicate with the remote thermo unit.

When the console is attempting to retrieve information from the remote thermo unit, it will cease communications with the PC even though the PC might be in the middle of a transaction with the console. If the PC continues to attempt communication with the console when the console is busy communicating with the remote thermo unit, the amount of time required for the console to complete communications with the remote thermo unit is extended and the amount of the time required for the PC to finish the transaction with the console is also extended.

You can tell when the console is attempting communication with the remote thermo unit by looking at the console in the section where the outside temperature and humidity is displayed. There is a small icon that will be displayed in the window that resembles a typical radio wave icon.

Each time WUHU completes a transaction with the console it reads a memory location in the console that holds the time to the next communication with the remote thermo unit. WUHU will then wait that time, plus an additional delay, before attempting communications with the console.

This delay time was determined by trial and error (using a WS-2308 and WS-2310) to be about 2.3 seconds. Therefore WUHU will wait 2.3 seconds after the console starts communicating with the remote thermo unit before attempting to retrieve data from the console.

When the timing is working correctly, right after the above icon disappears from the window, WUHU will begin to communicate with the console. You can see when WUHU is attempting to communicate with the console by watching the Updates field under the Stats in the main window.

To change this setting, close down WUHU then edit the WUHU Configuration.ini file with notepad. This file is located in the C:\Program Files\WUHU directory by default. Add the following key to the [General Settings] of WUHU Configuration.INI file:

Example of Configuration file:

[General Settings]
WS23XX Communications Delay=2300

WS23XX Communications Delay values: A value in milliseconds.

In this example, a value of 2300 is entered. This value represents the number of milliseconds to be used in the delay described above. Alternatively, if you have a WS-2315, you might try eliminating the delay altogether using:

[General Settings]
WS23XX Communications Delay=0

Save the INI file and restart WUHU for settings to take effect. If no value is in the INI, the default value is 2300 milliseconds. The minimum allowed value is zero, the maximum is 128000.

WMR968 Outdoor Sensor setting

The optional configuration variable “WMR968 Outdoor Sensor” is for the WMR968 only. Allows you to select an alternate temp/humidity sensor. To change this setting, close down WUHU then edit the WUHU Configuration.ini file with notepad. This file is located in the C:\Program Files\WUHU directory by default. Add the following key to the [General Settings] of WUHU Configuration.INI file:

Example of Configuration file:

[General Settings]
WMR968 Outdoor Sensor=3

Available WMR968 Outdoor Sensor Types:

0=None (or disabled)
x=Sensor ID
Note:

Make sure these keys are not already defined in the [General Setting] section. If a key is found, replace them.

If no value is in the INI, the default value is 0 (off).

Save the INI file and restart WUHU for settings to take effect.

[CWOP Settings] of the WUHU Configuration.ini

UploadInterval Setting

The optional configuration variable “UploadInterval” is a setting that will allow you to change how often you upload to CWOP. The CWOP upload interval has been removed from the the general interval. The CWOP interval is now 10 mins (600 seconds). You can manually adjust in the INI file. To enable this setting, close down WUHU then edit the WUHU Configuration.ini file with notepad. This file is located in the C:\Program Files\WUHU directory by default. Add the following key to the [CWOP Settings] of WUHU Configuration.INI file:

Example of Configuration file:

[CWOP Settings]
UploadInterval=600

If no value is in the INI, the default value is 600 seconds. Save the INI file and restart WUHU for settings to take effect.

Note:

If you hit stop and change your general interval back to 300, the upload values may seem a bit off.

The general interval now applies to non-rapid fire WU, AWEKAS, and Hamweather uploads. The minimum allowed value is 300 seconds. I am not sure what each of the servers is expecting, but I would guess 5 minutes is probably as fast as they want the data.

FlushDNSEnabled Setting

The optional configuration variable “FlushDNSEnabled” is a setting that will allow you to change how DNS cache is used. Adding this value will cause WUHU to manually flush the DNS cache just prior to the next upload to CWOP. This may or may not fix the problem on some systems where the rotate servers Time To Live DNS entries are being ignored by Windows. The DNS flush will only be performed on Windows 2000 machines or later (98 and NT series do not use a DNS cache).

To enable this setting, close down WUHU then edit the WUHU Configuration.ini file with notepad. This file is located in the C:\Program Files\WUHU directory by default. Add the following key to the [CWOP Settings] of WUHU Configuration.INI file:

Example of Configuration file:

[CWOP Settings]
FlushDNSEnabled=1

If no value is in the INI, the default value is 0 (off). Save the INI file and restart WUHU for settings to take effect.

Note:

The above key is set to value of one, not a lower case L.

WxNowReportFile Setting

The optional configuration variable “WxNowReportFile” is a setting that will allow for the creation of the Wxreportnow.txt file that UI-View32 Wx uses. To enable this setting, close down WUHU then edit the WUHU Configuration.ini file with notepad. This file is located in the C:\Program Files\WUHU directory by default. Add the following key to the [CWOP Settings] of WUHU Configuration.INI file:

Example of Configuration file:

[CWOP Settings]
WxNowReportFile=C:\Program Files\UI-View32\Wxreportnow.txt

If no value is in the INI, the default value is none (off). Save the INI file and restart WUHU for settings to take effect. You may specify any path and file name for the output of this file.

Make sure that UI-View32 is configured to read from the same file that you have specified in WUHU. In UI-View32, go to Setup → WX station setup, and select “WX Data file”. This file will be written whenever the general upload interval expires (default=5 mins). This is the same interval used when uploading to CWOP over the Internet.

Example of what the Wxreportnow.txt file will look like:

Dec 16 2006 12:11
135/003g003t040r000p000P000h73b10169
Note:

The timestamp is local time not UTC. The path to this file must exist.

[Wedaal] of the WUHU Configuration.ini

WedaalReportFile Setting

The optional configuration variable “WedaalReportFile” is a setting that will allow for the creation of the Wedaal.txt file that is used by Wetter-board.de.

To enable this setting, close down WUHU then edit the WUHU Configuration.ini file with notepad. This file is located in the C:\Program Files\WUHU directory by default. Add the following key to the [Wedaal] of WUHU Configuration.INI file:

Example of Configuration file:

[Wedaal]
WedaalReportFile=C:\Heavyweather\Wedaal.txt

If no value is in the INI, the default value is none (off). Save the INI file and restart WUHU for settings to take effect.

You may specify any path and file name for the output of this file.

Wetterpage24ReportFile Setting

The optional configuration variable “Wetterpage24ReportFile” is a setting that will allow for the creation of the Wetterpage.txt file

To enable this setting, close down WUHU then edit the WUHU Configuration.ini file with notepad. This file is located in the C:\Program Files\WUHU directory by default. Add the following key to the [Wetterpage24] of WUHU Configuration.INI file:

Example of Configuration file:

[Wetterpage24]
Wetterpage24ReportFile=c:\temp\Wetterpage.txt

If no value is in the INI, the default value is none (off). Save the INI file and restart WUHU for settings to take effect.

You may specify any path and file name for the output of this file.

Note:

The path to this file must exist.

[ZWNTANA] of the WUHU Configuration.ini

ZWNTANAReportFile setting

The optional configuration variable “ZWNTANAReportFile” is a setting that will allow for the creation of the ZWNTANA.txt file that is used by the Grecian website http://hellas.myftp.org/.

To enable this setting, close down WUHU then edit the WUHU Configuration.ini file with notepad. This file is located in the C:\Program Files\WUHU directory by default. Add the following key to the [ZWNTANA] of WUHU Configuration.INI file:

Example of Configuration file:

[ZWNTANA]
ZWNTANAReportFile=C:\Heavyweather\ZWNTANA.txt

If no value is in the INI, the default value is none (off). Save the INI file and restart WUHU for settings to take effect.

You may specify any path and file name for the output of this file.

Note:

The path to this file must exist.

[HeavyWeather] setting of the WUHU Configuration.ini

HistoryDataFileDelay setting

The optional configuration variable “HistoryDataFileDelay” is to limit how often WUHU writes to history.dat. To change this setting, close down WUHU then edit the WUHU Configuration.ini file with notepad. This file is located in the C:\Program Files\WUHU directory by default. Add the following keys to the WUHU Configuration.INI file:

Example of Configuration file:

[HeavyWeather]
HistoryDataFileDelay=xx

Were xx is in seconds.

Note:

Make sure these keys are not already defined in ini file. If a key is found, replace them.

If no value is in the INI, the default value is 0, which means there is no write delay.

Save the INI file and restart WUHU for settings to take effect.
