Frankly, I'm not sure if it will work on a simple VantagePro. As I understand it, there are almost no differences. However, the API manual is unclear about how commands are terminated:

Beware that some communciation programs > translate a line feed to both a line feed and a carriage return I don't know whether that means the VP2 is fussier about what terminates a command, or there is a hard difference. It's certainly worth a try. -tk On Fri, Feb 15, 2019 at 2:38 PM David Beach <[email protected]> wrote: > A friend of mine has been given an old but working Davis Vantage Pro (not > Pro2).
