NOAA Report Error [Solved]

[Cambium]

Can't figure this one out. Did a search and can't seem to find a fix.

Attached is the MX Diags before the fix and after it.

I fixed the duplicate line but couldn't find the 0:03 where its saying so I changed all 0:03 to 0:04 in case. NOAA reports Still not working

I fixed all that and it's still not working.

I think you need to have '00:03'. The time in the dayfile has two digits for the hour and two for the minutes.
This may occur more often in the file so you may have to repeat this.

Nope, that wasnt it.

Yup, that was it. Didnt relize Excel didnt use the double digits for any of the AM time. SMH. I was just looking at the 00, not the 1am, 2am, 3am, ect, ect.

Thanks all.

maybe post your file so we can take a look?

I figured out what I had wrong so that part is good now, thank you. But a new issue arose this morning. Cumulus didnt automatically create a line for yesterday December 13, so NOAA report isnt reading anything.

Hmmm.

I attached the Dayfile and the Diags. Thanks!

You still have data errors in you datafiles:

Note that this is not in your Dayfile but in your Dec21log.txt file.
When posting a datafile, please post the whole file as is and not just a few lines (or did you just start on the 6th of december?)
When a day is missed in dayfile for one reason or another, you should run CreateMissing.exe which should to the best of possibilities add missing data.

But before anything: make sure your data in the logfiles are OK.

One of the reasons we repeatedly recommend not to use Excel to edit the data files - unless you really know Excel and how to handle data files in it, there are all sorts of subtle ways it can change your data.

Pretty familiar with it. Just a matter of reformatting the colum with a custom time format of hh:mm. But yeah, if you dont catch the different formats it'll bite you

That diags file was from yesterday. Sorry. Attached new one. The time has been fixed. Everything working except NOAA report didnt add the 13th . Cumulus didnt add it to the Dayfile.

Yes, I started on December 6th... or 5th maybe. Just got the station. I'd love to input previous months and years but thats another ballgame.

[Cambium]

Ok, the 14th came up this morning but why are the low " 0 " ?

You can and should check the MXdiags yourself before posting because this is a repetition of the same/similar errors over and over. So when reading the diagnostics file you can find the error, correct and as such iterate until there are no errors left. This prevents overload of the forum support.
If it still does not work then we can look again.

I apologize. Once I figure this out, I go away. I just want the NOAA report to work without me imputting the numbers. I fixed the errors but NOAA report still not reading the 13th of December.

Also.... If I added data from December 1st in the Dec21 log, how do I get it to show up in the Day file log?
Thanks

[Gyvate]

That's a bit of detail work.
The dayfile.txt, as mentioned earlier by me (maybe in your 2nd, related post) has some max/min values, some summary values, some average values and related time stamps for each day - you can tell from the header description in the CumulusMX folder.
So for each day you will have to go through 1.440 entries (a minute based log asssumed - if it's 5 minute based then 288 entries) and create the daily entry from there.
To make this faster and easier I would use a copy of Dec21log.txt in MS Excel (rename to Dec21log.csv, load into Excel - then you can sort the columns inside Excel and easily find out max and min values). The timestamp needed comes with the record which contains the min or max value.

EDIT: Using the CreateMissing utiliy (see WiKi downloads) will be easier and faster - however the month file here Dec21log.txt must not contain any error - if there's an error (or more than one), the MXdiags file will tell which line and which position inside the line - usually it is a wrong format e.g. 3:00 instead of 03:00, a missing comma etc.

Hi,

Also.... If I added data from December 1st in the Dec21 log, how do I get it to show up in the Day file log?

It looks like your Dec21 log file has data from Dec 1 to current, but I haven't looked closely to see if it is all ok.
Your dayfile.txt has data for Dec 3,7,8,10,12,14
You should run the CreateMissing utility to have it add the missing December days to your dayfile.txt. Then you should be able to ReGenerate the NOAA reports, unless there are more errors in the data files.

Enjoy,
Paul

You don't need to go away

You can't have the NOAA report to work if your input data are wrong. So

I just want the NOAA report to work without me imputting the numbers.

is merely impossible. You fixed errors, but if you look in the logfile, you did not fix all errors (or maybe created new ones).

1) Just fix all errors in your datafiles and the MXdiags file will tell you after every run if there are errors. It tells you the datafile, the line nr and the column. In previous posts and in the wiki you will find the exact format of the fields. Format errors can easily be solved by comparing those fields with previous lines where apparently it went well.
Unfortunately, we can't do it for you, it is a puzzle you have to solve yourself.

Then when no errors show up anymore you do the next step.

2) For the missing line of the 13th of december, I wrote above:

When a day is missed in dayfile for one reason or another, you should run CreateMissing.exe which should to the best of possibilities add missing data.

Also look in the wiki how to use CreateMissing. The wiki has the software download and a usage page for it.
But then again: CreateMissing also needs correctly formatted data.

When you really get stuck, ask, no problem.
But please, as long as you find errors in the logfile for the dayfile.txt or the monthly logfile(s) you will have to correct those errors, we can't do that.
