Wind gust missing from graph

Post by rocketman_k »

Yesterday I unthinkingly unplugged the USB cable between the console and PC for a few minutes, then replaced it. I don't remember if I stopped Cumulus.

This morning I noticed all graphs were flatlined from the point I unplugged the cable. After reading around the forum for advice I stopped Cumulus, edited the timestamp in today.ini to show a time before I unplugged the USB. I also edited the log file to delete all data logged after the timestamp set in dayfile.ini.

Then re-started Cumulus and it reloaded the data from the console.

Graphs now look OK except the wind gust line is missing from the graph for the period where I deleted the data to re-load from the console. I suspect I have misunderstood something about how the gust information is derived for the graph, can anyone enlighten me please.

Many thanks!
