So.....
I tried the new attached software, it had a proper install file this time, unlike the drag and drop instructions for the stupid little CD that came with the unit.
Same errors, read weather data fail, then read alarm data fail, read scope data fail. So then I noticed there was a link to another company "Final Offset Electronics" Hmmmm It appears its not made by Sinometer afterall.
Tried this other software, brings up the same damn error, arghh...........
Anyone else having these problems with their station?
