Problem with charts

Post by Simbor »

Hello.
I have a problem with Cumulus.
If I close and reopen the program, it doesn't load the historical data on the charts.
Each new session of the drawing a new chart, without considering the historical data.

Precise that my station is a FineOffset and I use Cumulus more than one year without ever having noticed this problem.
All this problem started from when the batteries are discharged outside the station.

I already tried to download again Cumulus.
I tried to upgrade from version 1.8.8 to 1.8.9 Cumulus, without improvements.

Sorry if I don't speak English very well. :roll:

The most likely cause is a problem with your monthly log file. If you look in the diags folder at the latest file (cumulus.009) there will probably be a message about this (starting "Error reading"), and with 1.8.9 it will tell you the line number in the file where the problem is. If that doesn't help, please upload the cumulus.009 file and your March log file.

Perfect ....
Problem solved. :mrgreen:
I had received the incorrect information because too low battery in the outside station.
I will delete the wrong data from the log, but I accidentally left a blank line.
now it's okay

Many thanks Steve :clap:

Hi all cumulus people

I have a similiar problem with my charts. Perhaps is this answer in some other thread but I noticed when moving the txt files from one to another computer, the history didn't show in graphs. My conclusion is that it depends on the numeric setting for decimals. So switching from "," to "." for all the *.txt files in data folder made my day. :D

Yes Johan....

I also had a similar problem in the past ....
Due to a program that requires a decimal point instead of comma.
All logs cumulus were unreadable by the program.

Cumulus writes and reads its data using the system settings, so if you want to read data from one machine on another machine, they have to use the same settings - decimals, list separator, date and time, etc.
