__I have been bumbling around trying to resolve this problem with XML2300 and open2300. I am running WinXp? Sp2, HeavyWeather? 2.0 Beta, and a WS2315 station.

I have had random and inconsistent success using xml2300 using a batch file run by Windows Scheduler. As you can see by the data below the results are NOT consistant. (segment of of the log file) 01/19/2006 07:03 AM 142 Wdata.xml 01/19/2006 07:16 AM 2,519 Wdata.xml 01/19/2006 07:33 AM 142 Wdata.xml 01/19/2006 07:47 AM 2,521 Wdata.xml 01/19/2006 08:01 AM 142 Wdata.xml 01/19/2006 08:17 AM 358 Wdata.xml 01/19/2006 08:32 AM 2,520 Wdata.xml 01/19/2006 08:47 AM 2,519 Wdata.xml 01/19/2006 09:02 AM 2,269 Wdata.xml 01/19/2006 09:17 AM 1,657 Wdata.xml 01/19/2006 09:32 AM 358 Wdata.xml 01/19/2006 09:47 AM 2,523 Wdata.xml 01/19/2006 10:02 AM 603 Wdata.xml 01/19/2006 10:17 AM 813 Wdata.xml 01/19/2006 10:31 AM 166 Wdata.xml 01/19/2006 10:46 AM 142 Wdata.xml A complete xml2300 output is roughly 2500kb!

Below is a screenprint of the batch file that attempts to run xml2300, after attempting to run fetch2300, then log2300.

My Open23.conf file is below. Notice that I have set COM2, since HeavyWeather? is set to COM1.
