RE: Any way to check if station is connected?

Hi,

​​​​​​​A new contributor, I set my Davis Vantage Pro2 to upload to GLOBE yesterday. I am not seeing my site under the visualisation so was wondering if I entered the credentials correctly. Is there any way of checking a connection? See attached screenshot for what I entered into Weatherlink.

Looks like it just started coming through.  Data is sent once every 24 hours by Davis to GLOBE, so it can sometimes take a little time for it to start showing up...Here's a link to a popup with today's data from your site - available from the vis system...(vis.globe.gov).  If you're logged in, you can click the little person icon and "Show My Sites" to highlight your site on the map.

​​​​​​​For the popup..click the link below which shows data from 1/14/21 and your site ID:

Hi David

Seems I may have spoken too soon, or at least something else a little odd is happening. I am getting a daily email telling me what data has been uploaded, but there is an error with the School_ID, saying:

DAVAD 6509977 226613 202101181445 5.7 87 0.0 SW 1.8 W 0.00 0.00 0.0 1018.4
Value = 6509977
Error = School ID must be 8 characters long

Any thoughts on this? If the data is coming through correctly then is it a spurious error message?
