[PROBLEM] WH-3081 & Cumulus Extream Condetions Bug

Post by Reverse7 »

Hello everyone, I've been using Cumulus with my home weather-station for the last 6 months, but occasionally have some errors with the program that I would like to find out what causes it, and most of all is there away of manually re-correcting the data.

My weather station sits about 25-30 meters away from the receiver, the WH-3081, it's all plugged in and works well, I sometimes need to shutdown the PC it's connected to (after midnight so the stats can be assured for the 24 hours to midnight period), upon turning everything back on the next morning I see the statistics downloading back into Cumulus, that are "extreme" conditions that didn't happen, for example, 1,300+mm of rain and 430+KM/h winds

These are clearly errors or software bugs, but what I can't seem to find is some configuration file with all the statistics in them that I can manually change it to, here is a screenshot of the software:

This bug stuffs up my statistics for the average wet season for where I live... Is this just mine that experiences this..how can it be fixed.

Thanks for your time.

There is information in the FAQ and the wiki about correcting data, e.g. http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/FAQ#My_sta ... _figure.29

The descriptions of all of the log files are in the wiki: http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/Category:Log_Files

Fine Offset stations do have a habit of generating 'spikes', but in this case my guess would be that you haven't selected the correct station type on the station settings screen. You need "Fine Offset with UV/Light sensor".
