I am looking for the procedure to trick a new CMX install to get earlier data from Davis logger. I couldn't find it by search or in the current documentation.

Re: New installation - catch up from Davis logger
Just so I can become more aware and comfortable I have just tried it with a new CMX install and after first run edit the today.ini and Cumulus.ini as noted using July 1, 2022 (with WLL and Weatherlink.com Pro subscription).
Took about 30 minutes (10 seconds per day) for archive data to be downloaded from July 1st. Likely an hour if I went back a year and presume that would be possible.
Both Monthly log files and Dayfile.txt created and look fine.
Comparing these downloads to the actual live CMX data files for say July 1, 2022 there are some small differences of the value and time it occurred and that would be that live is when the data actually occurs, and archive is at 10 minute logging interval.
I should now try it with Console/WiFiLogger and maybe Console/USB as well. But for another day.
Enjoy,
Paul
