I have just downloaded Cumulus to test it. I ran through the setup with my VP1 using a comport redirector to connect a virtual com port to my VirtualVP software by TCP/IP running on my weather PC. All this seems to work fine. However the one thing I do not see is the year to date rain total appearing on the main screen. I added the value to the setup screen with the correct year and was expecting to see this value on the main display. I tried closing and restarting Cumulus but it still does not show up.

Re: Year rain total not showing up
Well done, you seem to have found a bug. You should find it's displaying correctly on the 'This Year' screen. For the main display I'm doing something completely stupid when trying to work out if the additional rainfall applies to this year or not. I'll fix it in the next release (of version 1).

Re: Year rain total not showing up
Stuart,
What do you mean by the "Year all time records"? Cumulus doesn't keep an all time record for annual rainfall.

Re: Year rain total not showing up
That's odd, I can't reproduce that. Are you putting the year in as four digits - 2008? If so, could you please send me a copy of your cumulus.ini file?

Re: Year rain total not showing up
Just to close this off. Steve replied that the data wont show up on the Averages & Extremes page until I have been running more than a day and the reset has happened.
