Re: Missing Data in Logfile after a shutdown

Starting the computer this morning, thus Cumulus, I immediately noticed that the high temp yesterday's period (0600 to 0600) for my NOAA report, was 100 degrees and the low was -18. As seen on the face of Cumulus. I replaced the files suggested. Then a series of events started after I restarted Cumu...

Missing Data in Logfile after a shutdown

I shutdown the Cumulus program around 2330 last night. I restarted it around 0715. Later, I wanted to see what the recorded outside temperature at 0600 was. So I tried reading a file which seems to go from Mar-15 to present. I did this by reading from the monthly data log viewer seen in my file uplo...

Re: Error Message: Duplicate Entry Dayfile

while u r here .... is it critical to leave Cumulus running 24/7 ?

There are times I shut all down when I am not here. Realizing of course that my web-display of Cumulus output is thus disabled, or not current, until I return.

Re: Error Message: Duplicate Entry Dayfile

ohhhh-kayyy?! meaning I'm confused how that line 838 got inserted back, in time, up there. isn't 838 a _valid_ entry ? It never occurred to me I'd have to search all of dayfile for the dupe. Either that or I read the warning wrong. Why does it just show up this morning? Anyway, I just deleted the li...

Re: Integrating WDisplay->converted to "Month-Year_log.txt"

I seemed to have figured that out after re-reading one of your replies. Thanks! runnin' on 32 cylinders now Finally. I am at last able to see "If" a temperature or a rainfall is a personal-best. Or not. :| Couldn't ever figure out how to do that with the other software. I guess my weather ...

Re: How does Cumulus decide "Recent Extremes?"

yes, that's correct, 0900 to roll-over. My NOAA co-opr obs log rolls at 0600 . So I choose something near, thus 0900

Re: Integrating WDisplay->converted to "Month-Year_log.txt"

... The converter should have created a dayfile.txt for your old data, you would need to merge this onto the front of your 'real' dayfile.txt in Cumulus, making sure you don't introduce any blank lines. There is not a new dayfile, in the "converted" folder after rtunning the Converter. So...

Integrating WDisplay->converted to "Month-Year_log.txt"

I just tried a Cumulus NOAA monthly report for March 2015. Previously I brought in about 5 years data from Weather Display using your WD Converter program (thanks). So, March has data in it from the first of the month. I started using Cumulus on the 7th of March. Yet NOAA-Monthly (now) starts from t...

How does Cumulus decide "Recent Extremes?"

In looking at the Recent Extremes, I see Today's 'High Wind' is 9mph @ 1045 while yesterday's 'High Wind' is listed as 5mph @ 0801 .

As it is circa 0655 at the moment, I am having troubles trying to decide where the boundaries for 'Today' and 'yesterday' are drawn.

Re: Is there a way to calibrate the rain reading ON the VP2?

I will look that up in the manual. I kind of recall trying that when I bought it 3 years ago. meanwhile I am trying to fill in missing data by using WDConverter. for my first try, I can not get Mar15log.txt to bring in the data from Mar-1-2015 till I began using Cumulus on Mar 7. Thus the March data...

Is there a way to calibrate the rain reading ON the VP2?

I have one reading today from the NOAA 'can' of 1.33 inc and another of 1.19 from my Davis VP2. The fact they differ is no surprise as it is nearly always the case. The two are mounted on fence-posts and about 8 feet apart. Noting is blocking either. I'd like to correct the VP2 reading however see n...
