In the station settings in Cumulus, select the appropriate station type for your station; under 'VP Type' select '''Serial'''; in the serial port section enter the COM port number that you found earlier. You may need to restart Cumulus at this point. It will then start displaying live data. Note that the it deliberately does not download any historical logger data from before the current point in time. When you run it subsequently, it will download logger data to catch up if necessary from when you last ran it, but never from earlier than when you first ran it. | In the station settings in Cumulus, select the appropriate station type for your station; under 'VP Type' select '''Serial'''; in the serial port section enter the COM port number that you found earlier.

If you still having difficulty, the Davis Weatherlink manual offers this advice, which may be useful: | |||
"Included with the WeatherLink software is a utility that allows you to convert a USB data logger from a direct USB data logger back to a USB data logger that emulates the serial port. To use | |||
this utility, select Convert USB to Virtual Serial in your WeatherLink program group on the Start menu of your computer (Start>AllPrograms>WeatherLink>Convert USB to Virtual Serial) and run the utility to convert your data logger. Please contact Davis Technical Support (“Contacting Davis Technical Support” on page 26) for more information." | |||
