Sorry to confuse everyone.

 Here is what I've tried:

   Test 1. Davis Console to WeatherLink direct

A. Shutdown VirtualVP and associated comm drivers. Davis Console connects via USB direct to WeatherLink only on Comm 3.
B. WeatherLink - Setup through Internet Settings to setup the Station Graphs.
C. Downloads the data just fine to create the trend graphs.
 Example:  http://curtiszmweather.com/wxgraphs.php?type=WL
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Test  2. Davis Console to VirtualVP then to WeatherLink

A. Startup VirtualVP and Commm Drivers. Get WeatherLink communicating through VirtualVP.
B. WeatherLink station graph creation fails. Unable to retrieve data properly from the Davis Console.

 Davis Console is running version 3.12.

 If anyone can try Test #2 with a version 1.90 Davis Console & VirtualVP to see if it works that would be great. Then we would know that VirtualVP never was designed to run that function in WeatherLink.

My Envoy is running 1.9 and is connected via serial DataLogger to the weather computer. I have VVPro talking to the weather station and to Cumulus, WeatherLink, Weather Display, Weatherview32, Virtual Weather Station and VPLive with no problems. Our university weather station was sent in for calibration and came back with 3.15 in its Envoy and both consoles. Weather Display, Cumulus, Virtual Weather Station and VVPro would not work. The university station is now under support (and under-supported) of another tech team so getting it downgraded to 1.9 is out of my hands. My home station will never be upgraded to 3.x because everything I currently run will get broken.

Garth,

 Can you with your home setup run the WeatherLink station graphs through VirtualVP?
