Strange problem with Data Logger

Hi,

I am running a Vantage Vue with data logger, Cumulus v1.9.4 (Build 1095) and Windows 7.

I noticed that the <month>14log.txt file was missing one entry each day.
The Data Logging is set to 5 mins.
The PC is switched OFF at night and when away from home for long periods.
Now it would appear that when I switch ON the PC and load Cumulus the overnight Data starts to download and all appears well.
However, if I switch the PC on at say 8.55am - 8.59am there is no log entry for 8.55.
This also happens if I switch off during the day, the first entry on restart is missing.
The Console and Data Logger are on 24/7. (Mains powered)

Any ideas?

Vic

This issue is mentioned in the Cumulus readme.txt; the Davis DLL which Cumulus uses doesn't download the latest entry from the logger.
