Sensor reading problems?
Posted: Sat 24 Sep 2011 3:24 pm
Hi, I'm new here, this seems like an excellent community and mind you Cumulus is awesome! 
But yesterday I had a weird problem, I don't usually leave my computer on overnight so I tried to yesterday, at around 3am it lost sensor contact apparently and after that it never received data to Cumulus anymore, even though the station was receiving it. The errors were something like "corrupt data" on the log. That morning I noticed that the Memory button on the station didn't work anymore
so I resetted everything and even deleted all Cumulus data as I had started recently the data streams, also reinstalled 1.9.1 as I had 1.9.2 and thought it could be a bug. The station does sometimes lose signal during the night apparently due to the fact it's on a roof of a high building, but that's like one or two times a day, or not even that. Now I wonder why did that happen? I've heard things like that about this station (PCE FWS-20 or WH1080), so I'm afraid I might have a defective console somehow? It was working for like a week, but since I resetted it it's been file, I think it just lost signal during the night once where the Wunderground 30 minute catch-ups are duplicated in 2 entries.
And a question, mine's the edition with the solar cell to charge the batteries but when I go to Select-A-Graph it shows me solar radiation when I select the graph? Is this automatic by location and altitude or the station is measuring it somehow?
Thanks.
