Hi

My RECORD indicator has stopped flashing, however it does seem to be logging.

Any ideas why?

Was running 1.8.1, just upgraded to 1.8.3 beta on XP

The Record indicator only flashes when Cumulus has found a new High/Low value.
Press the flashing Record indicator to see which new value(s) was/were found.

Ahh, thanks for that, as a new user the light has been flashing continuously until yesterday.

Yes, it's quite exciting for the first few days, as record after record is broken... ;)

Perhaps like me, for the first few you days you thought it was "reecord," not as in "reckord". Seeing a red flashing button made me think it was showing that it was recording the data!

This has confused a few people - perhaps I need to rename the indicator...

Ahem lets see, max/min record or max/min achieved it didn't catch me but I am used to Mickey soft english which is too correct for all but the geeks among us.

I feel just adding an <s> after <record> making it "records" might be the simplest and neatest way to avoid ambiguity.
