Screen 1: Statistical Diagnostic Screen
The Statistical Diagnostic Screen displays information about how well data is being received
from the weather station to the console. The information that is displayed in this screen
includes:
Note: Several of these values, with a *, are used by Davis engineers.
1. Time of day or number of times the anemometer reed switch was seen closed * .
The reed switch closes once each revolution of the anemometer wind cups. Press WIND
to toggle between these two values.
2. Date or the number of times the anemometer reed switch was seen open * . Press WIND to
toggle between these two values.
Note: The time and date displays can be toggled in both statistical and reception diagnostic
screens.
3. Number of packets containing “Cyclical Redundancy Check” (CRC) errors received. The
system runs a CRC check on data packets. Any data packets that don’t pass this check are
considered to contain errors and are discarded. These are considered bad packets. This
also includes the CRC errors received during radio acquisition.
4. The firmware version currently installed on the console.
5. Maximum number of bad packets in a row without resynchronization.
6. Number of times the console resynchronized with the transmitter. The console will
attempt to resynchronize with the station after 20 consecutive bad packets.
7. Percentage of good packets received. Graph shows the current and last 25 days of good
packet percentage data. The vertical scale is fixed at 10% per dot.
8. The total number of bad data packets including missed packets and CRC errors. Missed
packets are described as when a data packet is expected, but is not recognized as a data
packet by the console. This does not include bad packets received during acquisition.
9. Current streak of consecutive bad packets. The counter increments when the console is
synchronized but the packet is bad. This value is reset to zero when a good packet is
received.
10. Current streak of consecutive good packets received.
11. Station Number
12. Transmitter Domain
