Are you sure you are looking at the same reading on the console and in Cumulus? See http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/FAQ#Cumulu ... et_console

If the reading in Cumulus really has frozen, do you have a spike removal setting for pressure? If so, it may be too small.

If none of the above apply, zip up the MXdiags folder and attach it, and I'll take a look.

That eliminates the spike removal setting as a cause for your perceived problem. What about the other point as in the FAQ?

Yes, that's the whole point, as mentioned in the FAQ. You are looking at the absolute pressure on the console, and the relative (sea-level) pressure in Cumulus.

2016-02-12 12:49:49.837 Rel pressure = 1012.8
2016-02-12 12:49:49.837 Abs pressure = 995.1

You need to set the relative pressure on your console and only look at that.

You also seem to have a problem with your console, Cumulus is having trouble reading data from it:

2016-02-12 12:57:00.527 *** Data input appears to have stopped

Make sure you have no USB power saving settings, check USB cables etc.
