Re: Rain conversion from inches to mm

I looked at the data some more, and I think the problem started in April 2020, not in June 2018 (when I converted from windows to CumulusMX). In April 2020 my Cumulus.ini file got corrupted; I think due to rebooting without stopping the process cleanly, but I'm not sure. In any case, I had to redo t...

Re: Rain conversion from inches to mm

It will not take you long to work through the rainfall values using Edit menu -> This Year's records to see if the rainfall values (the times/dates are not affected) shown on left (in year.ini) need editing because values on right (your corrected dayfile.txt) are now different, There are other extr...

Re: Rain conversion from inches to mm

I corrected the rain data from the old version of CumulusMX, in the dayfile.txt and the month files (MonYYlog.txt). Do you know if the month*.ini and year*.ini files will get regenerated by the software, maybe at midnight? Or is there a process I can run to regenerate them? Or do I need to correct t...

Re: Rain conversion from inches to mm

Thanks. The new version seems to be working properly, and doing the conversion correctly with the 2 setting changes.

Now I'll try to figure out how to correct the old data. I think I can write a script to do it, but I need to read up on the purposes for the different data files.

OK, I updated to the latest version, 3133. The ftp transfer is working, and I made the changes. Before: cumulusmx_update_2021_07_25_before_1.png cumulusmx_update_2021_07_25_before_2.png After: cumulusmx_update_2021_07_25_after_1.png cumulusmx_update_2021_07_25_after_2.png It looks like that "Ra...

Re: Rain conversion from inches to mm

I'm running cumulusmx b3043. I had tried to upgrade before but ran into too many problems getting the ftp transfer to work, so went back to that since the ftp transfer worked well with that version.

Re: Rain conversion from inches to mm

Unlike previous answer, I assume you do want metric output from Cumulus despite having an imperial gauge. Is Station settings -> Davis VP/VP2/Vue -> Davis Advanced Options -> Rain gauge Type set to Imperial (0.01 in) ? Is Station settings -> General settings -> Units -> Advanced options -> Rainfall...

Rain conversion from inches to mm

I have a US version davis vantage vue that measures rain in inches, and I have cumulusmx set to metric/mm. I just checked the daily rain up until now, and it's at 7.25 inches, but cumulusmx reads 145mm (should be 184mm). I recall there is some conversion error that is introduced, but is it that much...

Re: Realtime files not uploading unless ftp logging enabled

I just unzipped the files on top of my existing CumulusMX directory.

I tried later to remove the dll's and the interface directory, and then extracted them from v3050 to make sure there wasn't old stuff left behind that might interfere. It didn't seem to make any difference, though.

Re: How to enable TLS v1.2 or v1.1 for ftps?

I had ftp logging enabled while testing. That's where the warning message came from when it tried to connect.

Oh well, it was worth a try.

Realtime files not uploading unless ftp logging enabled

I've noticed after upgrading to v3050 that the realtime files won't upload unless ftp logging is enabled. If it's disabled, the 5 minute files still upload, but the realtime files (every 10 seconds for me) do not. If I enable the ftp logging, then it starts to upload again. I've also noticed that ev...

How to enable TLS v1.2 or v1.1 for ftps?

I just upgraded from v3043 to v3050. Thank you for the updates. I saw in the release notes that support for TLS v1.1 and TLS v1.2 has been added for ftps. When I restrict my ftps server (vsftpd) to TLS v1.2 or TLS v1.1, CumulusMX refuses to connect. It only works if I allow TLS v1.0 (like before). I...

Re: The handshake failed due to un unexpected packet format

Yes... To be clear, it's only the ftp server that requires TLS 1.0 (for CumulusMX ftps uploading).

Re: The handshake failed due to un unexpected packet format
