I'd be particularly interested if the IP logger can be used without the
weatherlink software.

The answer is yes to that, though with caveats.AFAICS the 6555 logger
will (initially at least) have two modes of operation.

One will be passing data locally to the Weatherlink software (v5.8 -
not yet formally available) in the familiar way.

The other will be uploading data directly - ie with no need at all for
a local PC, just an Ethernet connection to eg an ADSL/cable router -
to a server at Davis, which is what our test is currently doing. As
well as being able to view your data online in the standard Davis
format, it will then also be possible for you to download archive data
records (but not loop data, which won't AIUI be stored centrally) from
the Davis server. So the Davis server can in a sense be used as a
proxy source of the archive data.

In time there might be other modes of operation possible but it's
premature to speculate about that at present.
