Posted 28th October 2009

We're delighted to announce the availability of a fully independent, year-long performance review of the Davis Vantage Pro 2 station, which we're hosting on this site in PDF form. Please see our Expert Reports page for further details.

Virtual VP - new version (v1.2.3)

Updated 7th December 2009

The latest  (v1.2.3) of the Virtual VP utility was released on Dec 7th 2009. (VVP is the excellent utility that allows multiple software programs to use the same single data feed from one VP logger - see our VVP page for further details and for a full recent change log.) v1.2.3 has three updated features:

• Better compatibility with Windows Vista and Windows 7;
• Better compatibility with 64-bit version of Windows (although there still may be issues with virtual com port drivers outside the control of VVP - it's recommended to use TCP/IP data feeds in these cases);
• Improved PDF instruction manual;

v1.2.2 (released Nov 14th 2009) adds compatibility with Weatherlink v5.9.0 - it's really essential to upgrade to VVP v1.2.2 for robust operation under Weatherlink v5.9.x.

NB VVP updates  are a completely free download for existing owners of VVP.

New Davis Vantage Vue station released;

Updated 30th September 2009

The biggest Davis news for some time is the launch of the new Davis Vantage Vue weather station. You can find full details of this new station on our main Vue page.

In a nutshell, the Vue is aimed at providing all the well-known Davis qualities of reliability and accuracy in a lower cost, compact and easy-to-use wireless package. In fact prices start at just £319 (inc VAT) for the Vue, which is amazing value for a wireless station of this quality and accuracy.

We do now have this station in stock..

LeWL wind logger;

Posted 9th September 2009

We're pleased to announce the addition of the LeWL wind logger to our portfolio of products. This is a small, weatherproof and fully self-contained logging unit, specially designed for dedicated long-term logging of wind data (full details here).

The LeWL unit is an offline logger (ie it does not provide a feed of real-time data) which provides an ideal and highly cost-effective solution for surveying a proposed site for a wind turbine to assess potential payback - see also our Renewable Energy Survey page for details of this type of application.
