Updating incorrect barometric pressure values

Topics about the Beta trials up to Build 3043, the last build by Cumulus's founder Steve Loft. It was by this time way out of Beta but Steve wanted to keep it that way until he made a decision on his and Cumulus's future.

Updating incorrect barometric pressure values

Post by stefanbagnato »

So, I discovered today that my pressures have been wrong since the station went up on 6/19. It was a failure on my part to calibrate the sensor in WL. It is not corrected, however I now need to fix all of the old values to adding about 0.5 inhg (the value it was off by). I know the sql db I can use phpmyadmin to fix. However, what other logs should I check? I am determined to fix every log and record, even if it takes all weekend. Once the Cumulus db and logs are fixed, I then need to fix the sql db powering my site...

I've updated the sql db's for dayfile, monthly, and realtime to reflect the correct values. However, I know there are more logs that must need to be fixed, as the records and charts still show incorrect values

Most of the Cumulus log files will need correcting, they're in the data folder. The format of the files is given in the wiki - http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/Category:Log_Files

Specifically, you'll need to edit your June, July and August monthly log files, dayfile.txt, month.ini, year.ini, alltime.ini and monthlyalltime.ini

I have everything edited except alltime.txt
That one seems like it would be extremely tedious. Any suggestions?

Do you mean alltimelog.txt? If it were me, I wouldn't bother. Cumulus doesn't use it,it only exists to allow you to make corrections to alltime.ini,although I suppose the information might be considered interesting in itself.

Yeah that is what I meant to say. Okay, I won't bother either. Looks like it would literally take me all night..
