bad data indoor temperature

Post by mm23 »

Is there any way to prevent bad readings for indoor temperature. I already did calibration on temperature, wind speed etc. but there is no indoor temperature option. I use WS 2350.

Many thanks

Is the WS 2350 Console next to a window? The sun rays may heat up the WS 2350 Console indoor temperature.

By 'calibration' do you mean 'spike removal'? Indoor temperature isn't usually a problem in that respect, as far as I know. Cumulus doesn't have very much code in it at all for indoor temperature, I've tended to concentrate on displaying the weather.

Are you getting 'spikes'? Are you using a real serial port or a serial/USB adapter?

Regarding position near window It can't be a case because it is a readings of -10 celsius and +70. I remove it from monthlog in notepad, and now everything is ok including graph. It is not a first time that ws 2350 reading data on that way.
Steve, yes I mean "spike removal".....yes i am getting a spikes sometimes (wind speed, temperature, wing gust) but more often on my second (older) notebook. Now (on other-newest notebook) I am talking about one spike each 3 or 4 days........
My "story" about Cumulus, notebooks, serial and usb kind of connection is very very long.....
Now I am using Serial/usb adapter on my notebook HP (have no serial port on it) old about 4 or 5 years. It works much much better than on my older notebook (Asus) which has serial port but Cumulus work very slow on it and have problems during start (download data) When using a serial/usb adapter on Asus notebook, in that case Cumulus has much more spikes...every day few of them also including indoor temperature... I use more than 50 meters stp cable solded 2 or 3 times and now I can tell that I am very satisfied by Cumulus and WS.....

La Crosse stations don't work very well with serial/USB adapters, and I can't offer support for Cumulus when used that way, sorry. I spent far too much time on this in the past and gave up when I discovered that this was a known issue with the stations that I was not going to be able to do anything about.

Ok Steve, thanks a lot. I am thinking by this issue on a similar way. I think (somewhere read this on forum) It is a question about strange way of signal grounding on La crosse....
Anyway, I planned to "found" somewhere a desktop pc with serial port and run Cumulus and only Cumulus on it.
It is not a problem to me to change a bad readings once every 3 or 4 days.....
and two questions more. ....Is there any way to remove indoor graph or whole indoor data from Cumulus web page and is that any way to "tell" Cumulus to send me a 2 or 3 times a day some data to me via e mail

Good night and thanks
You really done a great job

Yes, you can make any changes to the web pages that you want. Edit the web templates (the files with a 'T' in them) in the Cumulus web folder.
and is that any way to "tell" Cumulus to send me a 2 or 3 times a day some data to me via e mail
Cumulus currently has no email facility.
