Duff temperature data - how / where to edit?

[adrian5750]

Hi Folks
Sorry to ask again - but is there a 'noddy' guide on hand-editing duff data that
the Watson box has fed to Cumulus ?

I was prepared to live with the max rainfall per hour of 4,000+ inches per hour <g> -
but the current sillyness with temperature (max temp 59c, min temp -39c within 2 hours of each other!)
really needs to be sorted!

Thanks in advance
Adrian

Look in the wiki. There is a data editor available designed specially for this sort of purpose.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Hi Gina

Thanks - I looked in the Wiki before posting... <g> -
and couldn't find what I was looking for...
but searching for 'editor' turned up the reference to Toolbox...

I'll have a play!

Thanks

Hi again Gina / folks
OK - making some progress. Managed to download the Toolbox.
My weather station's connected to another PC on this network, toolkbox refused to run on that PC. However, managed to get Toolbox running on _this_ PC, and managed to convince XP Networking to let me share the remote PC's Cumulus data folder (means I can grab a copy of the data and drop it on this PC, so that Toolbox can see it).

Next 'novice' piece of guidance....
I have a couple of duff pieces of data (max temperature, min temperature and rainfall)
Where do I go about editing these - and how do you decide what to change them to?

Thanks - sorry for being so dumb!

They'll be in dayfile.txt, and (if they are your all-time max and min) in alltime.ini. You can find your previous all-time highs and lows in alltimelog.txt. For correcting your dayfile.txt, you'll just have to make something up; you could look at the 'normal' figures for that day in the monthly log file.
