Jonathan,

Do you download your data using Weatherlink and export it into another
program?

Would be interested in a third party program which can manipulate the raw
Weatherlink data files (I have nine years of data now!) or can use an
imported Weatherlink database in order to creates reports and graphs.
So far, no such beast seems to exist and I dont really have the time or
expertise to write one myself.

I'm using Weatherlink, but I think it's pretty average rather than good.
I started with Weather Display which I thought was far superior, but
developed faults and was unreliable.
Weatherlink has certainly been reliable, which is extremely important,
but
one day I will change, so will watch comments here with interest.
Thanks John for the link.

Another weatherlink user here.
Does the job, and is certainly reliable, I not had any problems.

I used WeatherLink for a few months before becoming disillusioned by it.
It's fine for the odd usage, but anything complicated and you soon come
across problems. Little things, like not being able to do anything while
it is downloading data from the station; odd errors (can't find NOAA
headers after running it for a long time); poor flexibility with templates
for publishing to websites; the interface is clunky (feels like a Windows
3.1 application rather than a Windows XP application); only runs on
Windows; etc.

In the end I gave up and wrote my own software. Once I have downloaded the
data from the station and written it to a standard database I can access
it any way I like. Certainly a lot better if you want to publish the data
on your website. I might get round to packaging it up and distributing it
for free on my website some time...
