Put the URL for this website into http://babelfish.yahoo.com and you'll get a good idea of whats going on. Basically they're discussing the technical details of clearing incorrect data, as well as some polite conversation. ;)

To make a long story shorter (and there is no way I can summarise anything in one sentence ... you should know by now... :mrgreen:

Michel was going to delete/remove the Cumulus software because the main Cumulus screen could not display enough weather information nor weather graphics - Michel did not want to have a Web server nor being forced to upload anything.

So, I convinced Michel to stay with Cumulus (rather than with the 'antique' Heavy Weather software he was also using) as Cumulus can be installed and operated in local mode without the need of a Web server - after a few modifications (moving files around) one just needs to point one's browser to the folder where Cumulus produces its files. And, voilà, one has locally Cumulus-produced HTML weather Web pages without the need of a server.

Michel has completely removed both the Heavy Weather and the Cumulus software from his computer, and has proceeded with a 'clean' install of Cumulus. So, using Michel's words, he is back on tracks... :)

Michel's weather station had also encountered a little problem where it reported an incredible 187 meters of rain in a week's time... So, Michel got one of his friend to test for any interferences which might have caused that false readings - the interference tests will continue for the next days.

Would you like me to translate this summary into another language... :lol:

Bonjour Michel (je suis maintenant convaincu que le 'masculin' doit être utilisé... ;) )

Excellente décision - par cette action, tu sera certain que ta station météo n'est pas influencée par quelque 'fantôme' magnétique externe.

I've seen this with a station where the rain bucket was not secure and moving due to wind, movement of the post/pole it was mounted on, birds rocking the bucket... etc.

Of course I had something similar that I called Sprinkler Rain... but that was easy to located and after a few times correct.

In another forum, Michel has asked for a solution about the large rainfall. I have asked him (in both languages) to indicate to us how the weather station is installed and what objects can be found between the transmitter and the receiver.

I dare ask, knowing that you are in Mesa, Arizona (in the U.S.A.), would that have anything to do with those burried in the ground devices that residents of warm areas use to keep their plants alive and their grass somewhat green... :)

i have a ws-2350 weather station and don't have any particular problem.

i used "heavy weather" before and it will be a kind of joke to compare between those 2 programs. heavy weather is minimal, and to see some graphs, for example, you have to download a separate program given by them or just go to excel.

cumulus is the best program by far and it is a friendly program ,compatible to la crosse ws-23xx

Cumulus is the best soft for weather stations! works perfectly for me,except my problem with all time records edit,which is negligible.
I am interested in something else. Is it possible to see the exact temperature, which was recorded a particular day?

For example 31.12.2010 10 pm, if its possible, where can I see that? Thx :)

One good thing in Heawy weather soft that i can see exact temperature at exact time., every 10 minutes for example, just find history file and open it in txt format.

I dont know whether this can be with cumulus?

Your monthly log files contain the readings every 10 minutes (or whatever your logging interval is set to)

You need David's excellent Toolbox: http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/Toolbox

or for present in ms excel.
It's a simple enough matter to create a 'header' template in Excel and import the Cumulus data into that.

I installed the Toolbox, it is excellent! many things can be arranged.
I made a screen shot of my March log and I opened it with excel.

Here's how it looks. Where I'm wrong? Where I made mistake?

You need to specify the delimiter - a semicolon in your case.
