Cumulus Support

I was checking some records using the :8998 interface and came across what appears to be an anomaly with the rainfall values and I'm not sure where the problem is.

I have include three images from the affected screens.

Firstly the "This Year" selection on Records:


Note the High Daily Rain. It is giving 12 December 2012 as the highest, wrong value and not this year. 12/12/12 was a dry day! Note that the value is the same as the highest Month (November)

The "All Time" selection gives:

This gives (correctly) Dec 2012 with the 'correct' total.

Finally selecting "Dec" gives:

With the correct value for monthly rainfall.

Is a parameter/tag getting read incorrectly somewhere?

I don't have that problem, and the code looks OK. Did you run build 3033 while that was available? It screwed up some dates (but not values, as far as I can remember). Does year.ini show the same thing? Presumably you copied a Cumulus 1 set of data - was the problem already present?

I did run 3033 and the original stuff was from V1.x

The alltime.ini has :

[Rain]
highrainratevalue=177.2
highrainratetime=10/08/2015 13:14:25
highdailyrainvalue=29.3999996185303
highdailyraintime=15/05/2013 00:00:00
highhourlyrainvalue=16.2000007629395
highhourlyraintime=05/07/2015 15:30:00
highmonthlyrainvalue=152.399993896484
highmonthlyraintime=01/12/2012 00:00:00
longestdryperiodvalue=25
longestdryperiodtime=31/07/2015 00:00:00
longestwetperiodvalue=23
longestwetperiodtime=03/01/2014 00:00:00

for the rain section.

year.ini shows the problem however...

[Rain]
High=177.2
HTime=10/08/2015 13:14:25
HourlyHigh=16.2000007629395
HHourlyTime=05/07/2015 15:30:00
DailyHigh=145
HDailyTime=12/12/2013 21:26:00
MonthlyHigh=145
HMonthlyTime=30/11/2015 15:47:57
LongestDryPeriod=25
LongestDryPeriodTime=31/07/2015 00:00:00
LongestWetPeriod=23
LongestWetPeriodTime=03/12/2015 23:00:00

Best way to fix this please?

You will need to stop Cumulus and edit alltime.ini and year.ini manually as MX has no editors. Or copy back to Cumulus 1 and get it to do it. Or load a copy of dayfile.txt into a spreadsheet and sort by daily rain, to find correct values.

Do your Cumulus 1 alltime.ini and year.ini not show the same?

I will check the 'old' Cumulus Files - they are not on line at present.

As all my data is recorded in a MySQL database it isn't too difficult to find the correct value - I was checking these values aginst those from the CMX Interface when I spotted the discrepancy.
Thanks Steve.
