My cumulus software is now working with the exception of rain stats which I see from previous threads is a fairly common problem. I have looked through the FAQ and read as many threads as poss but still can not zero my records to start again. I have looked on my C storage and have headings "backup,data,Diags,cumulus,debug and wxnow. Could somebody please take me step by step from here on to be able to ckear all erroneous past data to try to start again and if errors still occur I can the look at the rain module and it's siting etc. Thanks

hi Billyboy.

Are you familiar with 'spread sheets' ?

I use a software called CSVEdit which is like a spreadsheet but handles the CSV files directly.

Between that and Excell it is possible to recalculate the rain data and realign the data.

Its NOT straight foward though so it may be better to start from scratch.

I can help but you will need some idea of whats going on to help yourself.
