Cumulus MX 3.9.4 b daily temperature / rain charts not working

[geoffw]

I've just noticed that two of my charts are not working since I upgraded my station and updated Cumulus MX.

Your data files only contain 1 days worth of data for the daily plots - so HighCharts cannot plot line graphs.

Check your MXdiags log file for an error parsing your dayfile.txt, or ant other errors during the start-up code.

This look to be the issue. Can anyone advise as to what the errors might be how to rectify them? Could I just delete the offending lines in the Dayfile.txt file?
The last error message is "2021-01-18 19:11:19.708 LoadDayFile: Too many errors reading data\dayfile.txt - aborting load of daily data"

I suggest you Zip up your dayfile.txt and attach it to a post on this topic and then we may be able to tell what the problem is. Without seeing the file it is impossible to tell.

[geoffw]

Here is the dayfile.txt.

dayfile.zip

[PaulMy]

Your dayfile.txt seems to have data error in each of the lines with "Error". They are difficult to find in the dayfile.zip but line 1616 to 1620 have 13.00 and likely should be 13:00
Lines 3822, 3824, 3826 have extra ... at the end
The other lines also appear to have abnormalities. Likely easier to see in the CumulusMX Data logs Dayfile editor and fix them there.

Enjoy,
Paul

Well i've whittle the errors down to:

I can see problems with the temperature time format (which has been the main issue with the corrected records) but these I can't change. If I try to edit them in CumulusMX/Datalogs/dayfile I get this message!

A work-around is to edit the dayfile in say notepad++ (which doesn't add formatting characters etc like word or notepad etc will). Don't forget to make a backup copy before attempting this and for safety shut down CMX while editing.

[mcrossley]

As above use a decent text editor like Notepad++ that numbers the lines for you.

If it supports CSV field colouring all the better.

Line 3085 for instance the max pressure time (col 10) is "3" rather than a time string.

[geoffw]

Errors sorted - I hope1

Many thanks as always.

[geoffw]

Thanks again for the help. I Seem to have sorted the problems with dayfile.txt, and the Daily Temperature is is now working fine, but I still have an issue with Daily Rain (see image below)

Capture.JPG

Clearly a big lump of rain has been gathered in from one of the ini files. Where do I go to correct this issue?
