Where is 'Rainfall This Year' stored?

I have a serious mental block :(

I am attending to lost data due a hardware fail while I was away for a few weeks.

I need to correct the 'Rainfall This Year' amount but can't find where it lives.

Anyone please?

Re: How to kill the solar graph upload


Thanks David but...

Have already been there and solar not listed, but I'm still on 3094 as I have personally tailored some MX files and been reluctant to upgrade and having to redo my mods.

How to kill the solar graph upload

My WS uploads every 5 minutes and that comprises nearly 5 megs of data. At times I am close to my ISP data quota limit and this month ran over. I don't use solar and the solardata.json file is over half a meg so I want to kill that upload. In FAQs I found and implemented suggested solar T.htm file ...

Re: Rain calibration

Apols for hijacking this Rain cal Mark,

But it would be nice to have a multiplier for Indoor Temp to support the existing Offset.

By the way, for years I have been using the Rain multiplier extensively to correct tipping bucket errors.

Re: Cumulus database

How far back?

You could set your 'graph hours' to around 8650 and see a full year's worth.

My apologies :oops:

I tried to help you with my first post but it prompted Mark to ask me a question.

Maybe Admin can split the thread?

Re: Mmmmm interesting

Thanks again Mark :) Three things... 1. My C1 did have the ‘plot latest gust’ flag set as shown in both the pic and the cumulus.ini value thus... PlotLatestGust=1 Also there seems no equivalent PlotLatestGust flag in MX so is that not an option? ws options.jpg 2. Also set in C1 was the 10 min avera...

Re: Mmmmm interesting

Trev, do you have Spike Removal settings enabled, they may be useful for you? Thanks Mark, I have to admit I’ve never properly understood spike removal in a Cumulus context. As an old electronics tech to me a spike was a very brief voltage transient and measured much more by the shortness of time r...

Re: Mmmmm interesting

Over the 9 year life of my station, on old Cumulus until installing MX 2 or 3 months ago, it was common to get an occasional spike to zero or even to minus 40. For 100% of the many times it was always visible in the *log.txt files but not always quickly found. Usually it was just a single line of d...

Re: MX data/chart resolution

Mark,

I enabled those alarms a few days ago but they are not flags, they are dynamic and off/on/off.

I tested with a temperature alarm and unless I stay glued to the screen I don't know if it ever briefly goes red.

Is there some logging where alarm activity is recorded?

Re: MX data/chart resolution

Thank you all and upon carefully examining wind speed and external humidity graphs at the same time interval as temp they seem to confirm a loss of signal from the remote unit.

If I ever suspected a loss of signal I could check that on the old Cumulus with a permanently set fail light.

Re: MX data/chart resolution

Further to the above I also noticed on the external temperature graph where it resolves to 0.1 degrees that sometimes it steps as much as 0.4 in 60 seconds and that is during steady weather conditions i.e. not the sun in/out behind clouds. Mark, I mentioned the above in my first post and now I have...

Re: MX data/chart resolution

Thanks Mark, When I posted I was convinced that this issue arose with MX as I can’t recall seeing it with older Cumulus graphs and I usually study rain graphs carefully. Data files however have proven me wrong. Looking at July 20 data (pre MX) I did see rain increments of 0.4 (rather than 0.3) occu...
