Cumulus Support

Not an image, but my weather station with its readings. On the WU site you have the HTML code on the stickers page.
I'm at work now, I'll post that file after midnite tonight. Again, thanks for the help.

Yes, those are images, so use the [img]...[/img] tags.

Oh, ok, gotcha. Heres the Jul14 folder. Thanks!

It continued logging until (at least) the end of July. Here are the last few lines of the July log:

31/07/14,23:15,66.9,81,60.9,0.0,0.0,0,0.00,0.00,1018.020,23.10,73.3,50,0.0,66.9,66.9,0.0,0,0.000,0.000,70.5,0,0.0,82,0.00,0.00

I loaded that file into the data log viewer in Cumulus, and it displayed the log entries right up to the last entry.

You didn't attach the August log, but it presumably continued logging in that file.

So I'm sorry, but I have no idea why the data log viewer doesn't show those entries for you. You could try closing Cumulus down and starting it up again, if you haven't tried that already.

Yeh, It goes all the way till midnite on jul29 and stops. Ill figure it out eventually.

Perhaps it's something to do with your screen resolution and/or DPI setting, and it's not able to display the whole window. Could you post a screen shot of the data log viewer window with the Jul log displayed, scrolled down as far as you can go? The appearance of it may give me a clue.

Well, While trying to fix one issue, I solved another. I had to close Cumulus for a moment and when I started it back up, the data files loaded correctly and I had all of July. My new question is a fairly simple one. I like my BP to display in "in." When I configured the station in Cumulus I had left it in MB. From reading around, In order to change one of those particular settings, I have to close and restart the software. Since my station is so new, I figured it wont hurt my data too badly if I did so. My issue is that I changed it to 'IN' and only 1 of the 4 windows displaying BP show the correct reading in "in". Im guessing a full day has to go by perhaps in order for those other 3 windows to change. Any ideas?

Also, concerning the BP calibration issue I mentioned earlier, I noticed when going to weather sites like weather.com, that their BP readings were nearly identical to mine. It makes me think my station is reading a bit truer to the actual BP than the 3 other stations within 2 miles of me.

Changing your units invalidates your existing data, as it warns on the setting screen and in the readme.txt. This includes all of the high/low data. It will continue to use all of your existing pressure readings in mb and treat them as if they were inHg, so today's high, for example, will not be beaten today. After a day has gone by, your 'today's extremes' will look OK, and after two days, similarly for yesterday's. But your all-time records, this month, year, etc, will all be invalid, and your highs will never now be exceeded. You can manually edit all of them; the existing pressure readings in the logs will of course all still be wrong.

The Cumulus Wiki talks about the complications of manually correcting after changing units at http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/Setup#Unit ... sure_panel

Yeh, I didn't realize how messed up it would make things if you try and change a unit. I wonder if I just uninstall Cumulus and start from scratch. My station has only been online for 10 days or so. Plus, couldn't I just pull the jul14 folder to the side if I wanted the data?

That is why Steve Loft makes the 'readme.txt' file open in his Cumulus installer, he is trying to get people to read it and save themselves hassle.

So Ive pretty much tainted my records now even though I went ahead and set it back to MB to not further have a ton of bad records? But the low BP record in inches will always be the low now. Since it was for such a brief time, 1 or 2 days, I would think it would be fairly easy to go in and edit those 1 or 2 days to reflect the correct reading in MB instead of IN. Ill do some reading in the WU wiki and figure it out. Or as I suggested, would it just be easier to re-install?

Reinstalling doesn't affect the data. To start again, just delete the contents of the data folder, as described in the FAQ - http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/FAQ#How_do ... scratch.3F

That's right, because the logger stores so many days, depending on the interval I set, of data. Thanks for your help. I know its frustrating answering questions that I could've prevented had I researched a bit more.
