Hi
I don't know if this has been asked before.
I am going away for 10 days next month and i will not be keeping my laptop running.
Is there a way of changing settings so when i come back i can find out each days high/low temp, pressure, wind and rainfall?
Any help would be most appreciative
Thanks

Cumulus keeps a log of these -- in your Cumulus folder there is a file dayfile.txt. See the help on what each column means or check the new Cumulus Wiki ....

Use EasyWeather to change the period of your base station log file. Then when you come back and reconnect your lappy to your base staion, wait a year or two and all data will be loaded. (Not as accurate as Cumulus sample rate, but station high and lows should be there)

You run Cumulus when you get back from holiday, it downloads the data, and brings the dayfile.txt up to date, so you can see all the highs and lows from when you were away, as David says.
I'd agree with this bit, if your station isn't already running at the most frequent logging interval (5 minutes), change it to 5 minutes using Easyweather, so you have the best possible resolution of data while you're away.Use EasyWeather to change the period of your base station log file.
