I have a Davis vantage pro, and I want to know what software other people
use to capture the data from the weather station, or similar station.

I use at the moment weather display but I am having trouble with it.
Its been running since October and it has only got data from mid February
and I guarantee that the mid February information will have gone by April!

So what other software could i use? Weather link? Any other software i could
trial?

I'm using WeatherLink 5.5.1 with my WM II and am reasonably happy with
it. I looked at WeatherDisplay, which has great eye candy but decided
that the cost couldn't be justified on those grounds alone. Similarly
for Virtual Weather Station, which I used in it's infancy.

The only problem I've found with WeatherLink is that an error occurs
if using the internet facility with the strip chart or weather
bulletin displays active. I get over this by continuously monitoring
my web site!

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.
