For the last couple of days my console has been failing to store its
data on the logger. Has this happened to you, and if so, is there
anything I can do to solve it.

(Its not the console batteries, they are new)

I've never had the misfortune myself, but I do know of a useful logger troubleshooting guide over at John Dann's Prodata site: https://www.manula.com/manuals/pws/d...roubleshooting

Well, the good news is I thing I've found the problem - the bad news is
that it's probably unfixable. (

The cable between the datalogger and the USB connector looks pretty
frayed, so it's not connecting to my PC.

Looking at mine at the moment.
Do you simply need to replace the serial to usb adapter?

Assuming it's a native USB logger (and not eg a serial logger with a
serial to USB adapter) then:

If the cable damage is in the very short cable run to the mini-USB plug
then I'm afraid either it's a DIY cable repair or a new logger. I think
we do still have a few brand new but unboxed USB loggers availabe
cheaply at:

https://shop.weatherstations.co.uk/6...ger-1814-p.asp

Or the WiFi Logger is a good modern alternative with some added features:

The latest Davis standard for loggers is the Weatherlink Live unit:

https://shop.weatherstations.co.uk/d...0uk-1777-p.asp

But note that this is not compatible with the traditional Weatherlink
program and is usually used via uploads to the weatherlink.com platform.

If the cable damage is in the longer cable section between logger
mini-USB socket and PC then this is a standard USB cable that should be
widely available from PC suppliers or eg Amazon, but important to get
the size and gender right at the logger end.

Alas, the damage is not there, but between the logger and the mini-USB
port, right about where it goes into the console.
