Hi Geoff,

It depends on the logging interval, but even at 5 mins it's many days (1500+ points I think).

You may need to run Easyweather to set the logging interval, but then you must run Cumulus instead of Easyweather.

As for w/m2, it may depend on what weighting you expect to be applied (and what FO actually use).

Cheers, Alan.

how many hours?

GOD KNOWS, but its gonna be ALOT, mine has been running for 2 weeks, and is about 25% full

I dont like, and nor do i have the easy weather program installed, its pure display - cumulus

Thanks guys, I think that you have now convinced me to buy the WH3080, I liked the Oregon wmr200 but I think I payed over the top for what it does

Have just bought the WH 3080 from ebay

1, Data logger, how many hours data will it store,

The 3080 has the same logger memory as the older stations, but the entries are bigger, so there are less entries - 3264 rather than 4080. You can set the logger interval from 5 minutes upwards; 5 minute intervals would give about 11 days capacity.

2, Is the conversion from Lux to W/m2 ok now in cumulus.

I'm not sure what you mean - it hasn't changed. It simply multiplies by a configurable constant, 0.0079 by default. There seems to be some doubt as to whether this is actually a valid conversion, but I don't think anything better is possible with the supplied data.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for the info much appreciated, reference the Lux-W/m2 question I made, I think that I misread something somewhere, I thought that there were a few problems with it. sorry

Regarding the data logger I only need to store the odd hours data now and again.
