No solar and UV values in the Dayfile.txt

[LeShark]

Hello community, since the play of the new Cumulus software stand by my "Dayfile.txt" no solar and UV levels more in it, what did I do wrong?

Please zip up the diags folder and attach it. Please also include your dayfile.txt, today.ini, and yesterday.ini files in the zip file.

Here is the solar/UV data in your dayfile.txt for the last three days:

27.11.14 ... 39;10:06;0;00:00
28.11.14 ... 53;11:11;0;00:00
29.11.14 ... 62;10:38;0;10:38

The figures for 29/11 correspond to the figures in yesterday.ini:

[Solar]
SunshineHours=0,76666659116745
HighSolarRad=62
HighSolarRadTime=10:38
HighUV=0,25
HighUVTime=10:38

The UV value gets rounded; Fine Offset stations supply UV as a whole number, so I don't know how you got a value of 0.25 - are you using a calibration setting for UV in Cumulus?

As far as I can tell, Cumulus is correctly logging the day's high solar and UV reading to dayfile.txt acorrding to the data it got from the station, it's just that they are apparently very low. The high solar value is most definitely there, despite your assertion that it isn't (were you looking in the wrong place perhaps?), and the high UV index happens to be zero.

I've found your web site and looked at the graphs, and the figures in the dayfile.txt correspond correctly to the figures that have been plotted on the graph. Do you have evidence that your station actually recorded figures other than the ones Cumulus has logged? For the solar reading, Cumulus converts the station's Lux value by multiplying by 0.0079. You can change this by editing cumulus.ini. But if your readings are significantly lower than they should be, the problem is with the weather station.

Is there a way, the missing values in the "dayfile.txt" automatically import

[steve]

They're not missing. Those are the readings that came from the station. Did I not explain it clearly? Perhaps it's a language problem, and I'm not understanding what you think the problem is. Why do you think they are missing? What do you think the values should be?

You didn't answer my question -"are you using a calibration setting for UV in Cumulus?".

sorry, I have the cumulus setting the uv value set to 1.000, let's see if the data now appear in the Dayfile.txt!

However, missing from the dayfile.txt the uv values or they are set to 0

It was 1.000 before, or you have now set it to 1.000? It appears that it was set to 0.25 previously, so your UV readings were all divided by four.

However, missing from the dayfile.txt the uv values or they are set to 0

They are zero in dayfile.txt because that was the highest reading on those days.

Note that as well as your low solar readings, your console is losing contact with the outdoor sensors for long periods, so you are losing a lot of outdoor data.
