Hi....
This may be the wrong place to ask this, and my apoligies if it is, but i just got a National Geographic Weather Station. I was using the bundled software (Easy Weather) but found it to be lacking.
After reading a recomendation for the Cumulus Software, i downloaded that and it works wonderful. Except for one niggleing issue. When the unit is not connected to my computer, it doesnt log any data. So if i turn my laptop off over night, i cant see what occured!!!
Has anyone used this setup before and if so, is there some silly setting i have missed to ensure it logs data when not connected to the laptop, or is it some setting in Cumulus to retrieve logged data??
Any help would be gratefully received.
Thanks.

Re: National Geographic Weather Station Issue
Cumulus will automatically download logger data when it starts up, unless you tell it not to. I've seen Fine Offset stations stop logging on occasion; sometimes resetting the logging interval using Easyweather gets it going again. If you zip up the Cumulus diags folder and attach it, I'll take a look.

You've selected a station type with solar sensors, but I don't think your station has solar sensors?

Re: National Geographic Weather Station Issue
Yes, that was the problem. It couldn't make sense of the logger data because of the wrong station type.
