This came up a few hours ago on Cumulus 1......I've never seen this before.....Cumulus has been running all day just fine until about 3 hours ago....
Also Cumulus displays this..." Try resetting the console"....again any ideas?"
Thanks for any help....

Update:after rebooting my computer and rebooting the station console, the console info is being displayed correctly by Cumulus, but I keep getting an error for "ignoring high hourly rain rate"....???

Not seen that error with my Cumulus 1 but over the years I've had a few apparent station lockups.

The only solution for me has been stop Cumulus, reboot the station console/hardware and run Cumulus. Works every time.

Whoops... you edited yours after my post.

thanks for your response....yea, I did get it running with the 2 re-boots, but now it keeps sending that other error as I posted above....
strange happenings, I've had Cumulus for 12-15 years, been VERY reliable.....

Running software for 12+ years and then trying to diagnos a fault would be pretty hard without some information.

Are there any log files to go with the events? If it's ignoring the hourly rain rate, is the station giving out erroneous data perhaps?
