Some readings set at 0, help request

Post by adwright72 »

Hi,

I have some readings set at 0, for example the lowest air pressure, as a yearly record. Obviously this is incorrect, but how can I change it so that it will have a proper reading, is there a file I can tinker with?

Many thanks in advance

If it is All ATime Record figures that are wrong you can edit them directly within Cumulus by clicking Edit and then All Time Records.

Otherwise there are a number of other 'log files' which would need worked on. Details of all the file formats are here

I would be interesting to get to the bottom of why some figures are 0 thought as this is not normal

I think that sometimes things go wrong the very first time Cumulus is run (people select the wrong station type, or they haven't got the station connected, or whatever) and some 'bad' data can get recorded as an all-time record. I see zero for minimum temperature from time to time, for example. I've tried to reproduce this myself, but don't seem able to.
