Another fix related to Version 13.00p10. I forgot to add the same mult-thread flag for MesoNet updates...

Here is the download link:

I wanted to confirm - when you say Hanging up, is the program locking up solid or does the program stop updating? There is a distinction. With the VantagePro2 USB version, there is a well known documented problem here:

Mike,

I want to make a distinction between lock-ups and System Socket Errors.

Lock-ups result in complete freezing of the software and the inability to use menu items, etc.

For system socket errors, please visit our FAQ page:

Mike and Don,

If you are getting socket errors, you may want to increase your timeout period. There is a good FAQ here:

Loss of Communication with a VantagePro2 is mentioned here:

If you have the USB version of the data logger, you may have to contact Davis to get a serial data logger.

Don, do you have a VantagePro2 with USB? Again, this loss of communication is a known USB driver problem with the Davis Instruments data logger 6510USB:
