wview Description

A Davis Vantage Pro or Vantage Pro2 weather station console. wview is a linux/*BSD/unix/MacOSX-Darwin application that controls a Davis Vantage Pro or Vantage Pro2 weather station console to retrieve archive records and current conditions.The archive records are stored in the Davis WLK file format (thus Weatherlink generated archive files can be used by wview). Archive records may optionally be stored in a relational database (MySQL or PostgreSQL).At a user-defined interval, wview will use the archive history and current conditions to generate weather images (buckets and graphs) and HTML web pages based on configurable HTML templates. Optionally, the web pages can be transferred to a remote web server via an ftp or secure ssh process included with wview.Optionally, the wview alarm daemon wvalarmd can be enabled to deliver current conditions to TCP socket clients as a near real-time data feed engine. wvalarmd can also be configured to function as a weather data alarm generator to user specified scripts or binaries. Optionally, your station data can be submitted to the CWOP system for use by NOAA and others or to the Weather Underground.wview can be easily configured for international or US units, labels and text. wview supports serial and USB data loggers. wview natively supports connectivity with a terminal server or serial server via TCP sockets - no intermediate software required to make the ethernet port "look" like a serial port. Requirements: · Davis Vantage Pro/Pro2 Weather Station with Console · Weatherlink with Data Logger and Serial or USB Cable - Weatherlink isn't required but this is the only way I know of to get the data logger module · PC or Embedded Device to Host wview - this can be any platform running linux/*BSD/unix/MacOSX with an available serial or USB port and a network interface · Standard Installations of: libz, libpng, libgd, radlib (2.2.4 or higher) · curl and libcurl · MySQL What's New in This Release: · Updated Awekas US templates to send proper rain unit. Added new data tag "--stationName--" (brackets removed) to display the station name as configured in wviewmgmt. Updated build environment to support debian packaging. Added wview debian package support. See the new User Manual for details. Removed use of the HTTP_DOC_ROOT environment variable. Now the install location for wviewmgmt will be $(localstatedir)/wviewmgmt. Soft links can be used to make this visible in the http server document root as desired. $(localstatedir) is /usr/local/var by default. Changed the default station type configured from Vantage Pro to Simulator. Added targets for default generation configuration of "chrome", "standard", "US units" to the build. It will not overwrite existing html configuration (based on existence of the wview-conf.sdb file). wviewhtmlconfig will no longer be required outside of the new installation unless a different skin or different units are selected. Reformatted the User Manual wview-User-Manual.html. Removed old references and added new content for the debian and MacPorts package installs.
