Console/data logger

I thought - and hoped - the data logger on the Davis stations would store data when there was a battery backup installed. It is, and fresh batteries. We had a power outage at 0600, returning at 1100, Otto struck. The graphs, for wind, on MX shows a gust of 55 kt this morning at 0600, then a straight...

Re: What's CumulusMX doing?

Where do the log files go?

I had data and ftp logging switched on, but can't find any file for data.
ftp logging is in the main CumulusMX folder.

Host PC is running Win10, the web interface on Win11.

For comparison, my CMX has 13.9GB in the last 30 days.
OK, thanks.

VP2 - Comms

Hi all, It happens regularly everytime I change the battery in the ISS; dropouts in contact between the console and the ISS. Usually it settles after about a week, but this current spell has lasted almost 3 weeks, though the frequency of drops is less than they were. In the small set-up manual it ta...

One would suspect, much like the tide and waves on the sea - in opposite directions, there's an amplification.

Re: Tonga Eruption

That's some shock wave, just slightly faster than the speed of sound and, it seems, comparable with estimates on Krakatoa.

Very interesting calculations - here in NE Scotland I have to use a bit of licence to see anything really beyond the first two waves.

Re: Tonga Eruption

I wanted to check back through the graphs to see if I'd had a similar spike in the data, but on my localhost/charts display I have 12 hours of data on display. Only "All" is emboldened, the other 3 options are greyed out. I assume there's a way to check back on previous days, or have I lo...

I was 'just' querying why, if C1 reported 3 hourly As far as I know C1 used the same as MX, the three hour change expressed as a rate per hour?

Re: Re Pressure Change

Your subject title says "outside temperature change", yet you seem now to be focussed on "pressure change". For original post on Cumulus pressure trend text, based on three hour change see https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=14832#p14832 , it has been repeated in many ...

Re: Outside Temperature Change

Ah, you mean why report the three hour change as an hourly rate. The short answer - because it's always been like that in Cumulus! Longer answer is I do not know the history, but is probably because I think most people would expect a rate to be in units/hour, not in units/3*hours. If you use units/...

Re: Outside Temperature Change

Localhost display.

Dashboard hPa/hr
Hover - over pressure gauge, trend is hPa/hr
Current data table trend hPa/hr

Why take the 3 hour trend and change to a one hour?
