OPEN2300,xml2300

Question

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)

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.
