Cumulus Support

We have a Aercus weather station set up and running since mid May and the data logger on the station is nearly full. I originally installed Cumulus in May but have just re-installed today it to get everything working. I followed the instructions on the website for set up.
I wanted to save the last 90 days data before it is progressively wiped and read that could edit the date stamp file date located in today.ini file under the data folder.

So I ran the program once. Closed it opened and saved the today.ini with 1.05.14 as 'date stamp' and started the program but it then changes the date back to todays and I don't get that historic data. Is there anyway I can recover it, or do I now ave to start from today's date and give up that interesting 3 months of data?

I can view the data on Aercus and it shows up on Vista as 'D' drive but I cant view any files on it.

Changing the dates and times at the start of today.ini should cause it to attempt to download logger data from that point, assuming that data is available. If you zip up the diags folder and attach it, I'll take a look.

I have tried to attach the diags files/folder - 580k - I presume because it has limited data in it?

We are very new to weather stations I was bought the Aercus for my birthday and the manual states it will record up to 4,080 complete sets of data so at 30 mins that is 85 days. There is a display that shows memory use and that has slowly filled up and is now all 'grey' shaded so 'full'.That would be about right based on when it was set up.

If you could help me extract that data great.

Maybe I need to call Aercus next week for an explanation?

Just changed the dates again in the today.ini back to May 2014 but I only get 22-24th August data. The manual states that once full the oldest data is overwritten. Maybe it is showing me that the data storage is 'full' but perhaps it wiped it when full up?

I will call Aercus on Tuesday and ask them.

It doesn't wipe the data, it just starts again at the beginning, overwriting the oldest data. Are you sure you have the station's logger set to 30 minutes?

The diags folder didn't appear, did you zip it as per the instructions in the post linked to near the top of the forum?

I am going away for a few days, so if you manage to upload the diags folder, I'll look at it when I return (assuming you haven't resolved it yourself before then). You could even look at the diags files yourself, some of the logging is reasonably obvious.
