Data logger doesn't work

Post by moisesasz »

As the title says, Cumulus 1.8.8 doesn't download the data from the weather station, after my computer has been shutted down. I have checked the "use data logger" field, but it doesn't use it anymore. The problem started for 2 days ago, but I have neither touched my weather station preferences nor the Cumulus preferences (until now). What should I do?

It's processing the logger data just fine. Here's an example from the cumulus.005 file from 12:00 today, where it processed the overnight data:

2010-04-17 12:01:46 : Writing todayfile, LastUpdateTime = 16-04-2010 22:27:26 raindaystart = 112,5
2010-04-17 12:01:46 : Writing todayfile, LastUpdateTime = 16-04-2010 22:57:26 raindaystart = 112,5

You have a problem in your apr10log.txt file, which might be causing you to think that the logger data isn't being processed:

2010-04-17 12:01:21 : Finding raintoday from logfile C:\Program Files\Cumulus\data\apr10log.txt
2010-04-17 12:01:21 : Error reading Logfile: List index out of bounds (9)

I can't tell you where the problem is - the latest version of Cumulus (1.8.9) would also give you the line number - it could be a blank line or some other problem; that's probably all that needs fixing.

Ok. I've just looked at apr10log.txt, and discovered some extra spaces in one of the lines. It now works. Thanks again.
