Cumulus Support

I have used Cumulus 1 on a small Windows 7 Laptop for 9 years reading from a Davis Pro 2. I am now switching to CumulusMX using the same Laptop. I have read the documentation about migrating and other documentation on CumulusMX but could find no info about a couple things that are happening.

The alltime.ini and some of the other .ini files have changed the dates in CumulusMX from slashes / to dashes -.

There are unusual readings and dates in the Records - Highs and Lows (-999.0 °F Monday, January 01, 0001 12:00 AM) my data starts in 2012. None of these are appearing in my Cumulus 1 files.

Screen shots attached.

What is causing this?

Thanks.

There's lots of hints in the wiki. First thing that springs to mind to me is - did Cumulus 1 calculate "feels like" temperature?

That will be it. C1 did not calculate that or keep humidex records iirc.

You could use the CreateMissing utility to add that missing data to your migrated dayfile.
Then use the various records editors in MX to add the new records for those values to the records areas (all time, monthly, this year etc)

Okay, thanks. Looks like I have a lot of editing to do.

What caused the slashes in the dates to be changed to dashes in some of the ini files? I am using CumulusMX on the same machine that I used Cumulus 1 on so the region settings are the same.

The ini files in MX use a standard date/time format across all locales.

Thanks for y'alls help.
