Anomalies

Post by callum91 »

I had some strange anomalies today as you can see on my website.

All the figures suddenly change at about 11:00 (the same time I turned off the PC) and level off for the rest of the afternoon until I turn the PC on again in the afternoon (after 18:00).

I also had a freak gust of wind recorded at 18:16 of 23 knots and a huge amount of rainfall from nowhere (about 35 mm too much).

I don't normally have any problems - I guess today I was just unlucky.

If the flat line is for the period when the PC was switched off, Cumulus probably failed to download the logger data when it started up again. You can confirm this by looking in your Dec09log.txt and seeing whether a chunk of data is missing, or is present but with the same values. You can also look in the diags file from when you started uo to see if there are any errors.

You might be able to recover the data from the logger by restarting Cumulus from a backup from before the missing data.

Thank you, overwriting the data with the back up worked! :D
