Where does Cumulus store its Data File in Windows XP

Post by geoffw »

I've decided to use another PC to download and process my data.

Since setting up my station it has been on a vista machine. I know where the data files are that I need to copy over to the Windows XP machine that will in future process and store my data.

Obviously I need to move the Vista data to the new machine BEFORE I first set the USB/Staton link to update the files.

I've installed Cumulus on the XP machine but I can't find any empty data folders expect in the Cumulus folder. Once running where are the files stored on an XP machine?

Those are the ones, in the Cumulus folder - Cumulus always stores them there. But Vista is sneaky and redirects them elsewhere, if Cumulus is in the Program Files hierarchy.
