The data logger included in this pack is exactly the same USB logger as supplied with the 6510USB Weatherlink version for Windows and with the same USB cable, but, although it bears the same name, the Weatherlink for Mac software is a significantly different version of the Weatherlink software. In general terms, the Mac Weatherlink program offers broadly similar features to the Windows version, but the Mac version does have significant differences and limitations compared to the Windows version.
#WEATHERSNOOP WINDOWS PC#
In the descriptions below we’re focusing on these differences in the Mac version from the Windows version – for a more general introduction to Weatherlink features in general, please see the main Weatherlink page.Īlthough this 6520 Mac Weatherlink version is readily available, we would actually recommend that, even if you routinely use a Mac rather than Windows, it is well worth considering using an older 32-bit Windows PC as a dedicated weather PC rather than the Mac Weatherlink version. There are relatively few Mac Weatherlink versions sold.This is not in the slightest a ‘theological’ view on Windows vs Mac as user environments, but reflects some important practical and feature-related limitations associated with the Mac version, which include: #Weathersnoop for mac Pc Limitations of the Mac Weatherlink version, of which we’ll mention a few below.Very few dealers will run Mac Weatherlink systems themselves and are therefore just not a position to offer any practical support whatsoever for the Mac version from first-hand experience.As a result, the Windows version has more features, is more up-to-date and is typically more thoroughly tested and bug-fixed The Windows version inevitably gets the lion’s share of development resources because of its much greater market appeal.(The proportion may be a little higher in other territories but we doubt that it exceeds 5% anywhere.) This has two practical consequences: We estimate from our own sales in the UK that the Mac versions represents just 2-3% of total Weatherlink sales – in other words a genuinely tiny proportion of total Weatherlink sales. In general, Weatherlink for Mac is a perfectly serviceable program which is run successfully by a substantial number of users around the world and offers broadly similar features to the Windows version. Use with the 6555 WeatherlinkIP logger (NB Previous versions of the Weatherlink for Mac software did not support the subscription-based uploads to the Davis website.Most generic Weatherlink features are supported but detailed features that Weatherlink for Mac does not support include.But if you’re concerned about the details of any feature mentioned below or indeed availability of any other specific feature not explicitly listed below we suggest that you make further enquiries before purchasing the Mac version.

#WEATHERSNOOP WINDOWS SERIAL#
It is compatible with all stations in the Davis range and supports connection via serial port, USB and Ethernet. The software allows the publication of the data in real time on the internet and also the export to most spreadsheet models. This program allows the visualization, management and storage of meteorological data provided by an automatic station. WeatherSnoop 4 is a software specially adapted for Mac, including the most modern versions of this operating system. The datalogger's file interval can be configured every 1, 5, 10, 15, 30, 60 or 120 minutes and the automatic data download can be done by configuring the software so that it takes place daily at the selected times. The download of data can be done manually or automatically depending on our needs. This combination of the Weatherlink USB and the Weathersnoop 4Pro program allows direct connection and is compatible with Mac IOS operating systems. Thanks to Weatherlink you will be able to obtain data that is not in the console and you will be able to get reports and graphs that you can then upload to the internet. The weatherlink is made up of the datalogger that stores and downloads the meteorological data and the Davis software.
