Weatherlink to CumulusMX Conversion Error

[glennpm]

Hi,

I used the converter to use most of this year's WeatherLink data. The dayfile values look fine but the high/low values at the time they've occurred is not being read properly. It shows as very high values on 12/30/1899. What can I do to fix these entries please, spreadsheet work or what? The current month, December, is fine.

Thanks,
Glenn

You have to build those yourself, aided by Cumulus in the case of Cumulus 1, which has built-in facilities for this. MX does not as yet.

Okay, thanks Steve.

Can you please tell me what files and columns require correction? It doesn't appear that I can directly edit the month records within MX. I have saved each month's high/low/mean values into separate text files for reference.

Thanks

The files are all described in the wiki, indexed from here - http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/Category:Log_Files - there's also information in the FAQ and wiki about correcting records, which may be useful (apart from the references to the built-in editors in Cumulus 1).

All-time records, for example, are in alltime.ini. Edit files with MX stopped.

Good , thanks Steve.

Hi,

I fixed much of my dayfile using the attached spreadsheet. I copied my dayfile test in as csv, comma separated values, format, made the corrections and then saved out the data portion to dayfile.csv which I then renamed to dayfile.txt. Just posting this in case it is of help to someone in the future.
