Where to correct/erase a day of solar data?

Post by Intheswamp »

I finally installed my solar sensor but did it late one afternoon. This means that sunny day only logged a couple of hours of sunshine. Cumulus has been fantastic since I installed it. If I could only figure out php and html and java and.... well, I'd put Weatherunderground, the Weather Channel, and few more of'em out of business!!!! ;) This means that I haven't had to delve into the Cumulus backroom much and even some of the things I learned when I first installed it have faded in my memory (maybe my memory is fading anyhow? :? ) Anyhow, could somebody point in the direction of the file I need to edit to remove that day's solar data?

Thanks!

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

The hours of sunshine for the day and the high solar reading are in dayfile.txt along with all the other daily summaries, and you can edit that inside Cumulus (on the edit menu).

If you want to delete the individual solar readings from the monthly log file, you'll have to stop Cumulus and edit it with a text editor.

Thanks Steve! That's the pointers I needed! I've gotta work on some bee equipment this weekend but hope to get a chance to delve into the solar issue at some time, too. :)
