Davis Station not downloading historic logger data in b3088

[Dinant]

After stopping MX for 10 minutes the historic data is not downloaded.
I'm using a Davis Vantage Pro 2 in combination with an Weather Envoy.

In the past this feature was working fine but in b3087 and b3088 it isn't. I don't know exactly when it went wrong.

Part of the monthly logfile:

Please start Cumulus using the "-debug" command line parameter, then zip up the MXdiags folder and post it here. Thanks.

In the MXdiags file it says:

2020-07-22 15:45:35.111 No historic data available

Strange.
Now I realize I've changed my config recently. My Weather Envoy got stuck after updating the firmware. I put the datalogger in my Davis console.
Is there no logging available when the datalogger is connected to the Davis console?
Attached the log file.

Look also at the end of the logfile. After pressing Control-C an error is being raised!

When you moved the logger, did you set the logging interval on the console to match the interval you have set in MX? It will default to 30 minutes.

No i didn't. How do I set the logging interval on the console?

[mcrossley]

You can use the WeatherLink software if you have it, or use a terminal emulator connected to the logger and use the "SETPER xx" command where xx is the log interval in minutes.

I managed to set the archive interval to 1 min. Now Cumulus is downloading the data for the missing minutes.
Thanks for your help.

The exception when you close Cumulus with Ctrl-C is still there.

During the start of Cumulus I see the following text on the console:

Why are the following lines printed twice?

Because the download process can take a long time, and on slow devices (pi zero) can timeout during the rollover processing, or a new entry be added. So it runs the process until there is no more history found.
