Latest Beta 045 Data problem

Post by Super-T »

I've just shut down Cumulus, copied the \progfiles\cumulus directory, installed the 945 update and ran cumulus.
Initially the Cumulus screen loaded todays data and then sat there with the Downloading Data screen but no actual download.
Rebooted the computer and copied an older set of data to the data directory but no joy.
Went back to the previous beta 937 but still no joy.
I seem to have lost data from 12pm today until about 5:20pm but the data is in the July10Log.txt
Cumulus was running happily before the update.
Is anyone else having a problem?
See attached.

{Edit1} Sorry, typo on the topic....should turn the light on to see what I'm doing

{Edit2} Took it back to 937 and used the data from a daily backup and the data is all OK.
I'll wait and see if anyone else has a problem before doing 945 again :-)

I think it's unlikely to be anything to do with the latest build, nothing has changed that could affect downloading of archive data. If you zip up the diags folder and attach it, I'll have a look to see what went wrong. It looks like Cumulus had lost contact with the station at about 11:47 (before you had installed the latest build?) so kept logging the same data:

27/07/10,11:47,11.9,85,9.4,11.2,29.5,256,0.0,0.6,1018.7,432.3,16.4,63,15.8,11.9,11.9
27/07/10,11:48,11.9,85,9.4,11.2,29.5,256,0.0,0.6,1018.7,432.3,16.4,63,15.8,11.9,11.9
27/07/10,11:49,11.9,85,9.4,11.2,29.5,256,0.0,0.6,1018.7,432.3,16.4,63,15.8,11.9,11.9
27/07/10,11:50,11.9,85,9.4,11.2,29.5,256,0.0,0.6,1018.7,432.3,16.4,63,15.8,11.9,11.9

So you already had the problem, and restarting Cumulus to install the latest beta fixed it.

Diags won't mean much as I over-wrote all the cumulus directory with last nights backup.
I'll try the update again in the morning and see how it goes.
Could have been the flakey FO USB as I restarted, not shutdown and start again so probably the USB was not powered down.

Latest update worked OK this time :-)
