Rainfall

Post by ramsded »

Being new to Cumulus and on checking that it had downloaded all yesterdays data, I noticed 3 of the 15 min records were missing from the monthly data, 2 of which contained rainfall, but on viewing the displayed data and yesterdays dayfile the rainfall totals were correct.

I don't understand how it can do this ?

What factors would make Cumulus miss data and if there is a need to add data to the monthly file I assume this has to be done outside of Cumulus in a text editor ?

The Davis DLL which Cumulus uses never downloads the latest logger entry, for some reason. Cumulus doesn't use the individual rainfall amounts in each entry, and it makes sure that the total is correct at the end of the logger download.
