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.

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

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.
