Includes these features/fixes:
The Vantage Vue weather station is supported in this software version.
Fixes USB driver dropout issue. If a dropout is detected the driver is reloaded and a remark is added to the log file.
“Expansion_Modules” folder will now be created automatically regardless of whether you have installed any expansion modules.
Wind Direction calibration can now be done via software.
Informational dialog boxes are suppressed when WeatherLink is minimized; if a screen saver has been activated or if the Bulletin, Strip charts and Plot, are running.
Added the ability to set the units that the console displays as well as what the software displays.
“Readme.wri” has been converted to “Readme.rtf” file.
Web download Password may contain special characters. These characters include: “!”, “*”, “\”, “(“, “)”, “;”, “@”, “&”, “=”, “+”, “$”,”,”, “/”, “?”, “%”, “#”, “[“, “]”.
Web download time out has been lengthened from 30 seconds to 60 seconds.
“Show indoor data only” mode is available for any Vantage console. This mode mimics the software interface for a Perception weather station and includes EMC and Air Density.
Upon entering the “Set Transceiver” screen, the software will check for model mismatch between hardware and software configuration.
Right clicking in the Bulletin now opens the Summary screen.
Now stations that are stored outside the WeatherLink directory can be renamed
Fixed the bug that causes the software, when using a dial-up modem connection, to dial the modem when you exit the software.
Fixed a bug that displayed, in the Sunrise/Sunset report, 60 minutes instead of the following hour. E.g. 5:60a will now read 6:00a
Wind Run nautical mile unit now displays as “n mi” instead of “knots”.

Hi Folks, I have the new Vantage Vue with the 5.9 weather link on usb port, It runs on my server which has windows 2000 pro installed. I run this along side of my Weather Wizard III on a serial port. The wizard III uses weather link 5.7.1 and runs flawlessly, the Vantage Vue doesn't do so well. It shows errors better then 50% of the time, Will not upload every 15 minutes like it is supposed to, and is just a plain mess transferring files. I did update to the new 5.9.1 version and can tell you this. It uploads almost perfectly with the new version, about 90% success on everything. However, if you have the Vantage Bulletin open at the time up upload, it will give me a pop up stating the usb is no longer working and to disconnect and reconnect the usb cord to the station. If the vantage bulletin is closed, it works great... I switched back to the 5.9 version as it was the least of the problems, I can at least see the station on the screen. I'm really disappointed so far with this new setup, the station works nice, but the software sux.. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated, so far, Davis hasn't even responded to my issues.. I have tried running this solo and on other machines with the same results. Any ideas??? 
;D
