Trend graphs time base has changed

Post by skmorgan1944 »

I had to manually correct rainfall data because of fault with my La Crosse WS2300. I know you don't officially support this using USB-Serial adapter but I have very few problems.

My problem is I must have changed something in one of the data files because the time base for the trend graphs is no longer the last 24 hours but just a single value at the current time. The rainfall trend is OK with the past 7 days showing.

The fool that I am, I didn't make a backup (write a hundred lines :bash: :oops: ). Mea culpa.

Which data file contains the time base setting (24 hours) so I can restore the trend graphs.

Thanks in anticipation.

It won't be the setting, it will most likely be a problem in your data logs, presumably as a result of your editing. If that is the case, there should be an error messgae in the latest diags file (and it should also have flashed the error light) pointing you at the line in the file in question (it will be Oct11log.txt). If you can't spot the error, attach your oct11log.txt and I'll have a look.

Thanks for quick response. AS you suggested, I looked in Oct11log.txt and spotted the error straight away. I was rather annoyed with myself as I HAD read your guidelines about not using Excel to edit files because of date format and sure enough, the date had changed from dd/mm/yy to dd/mm/yyyy. Basically I am a twit but I put it down to my age :?
Anyway a further quick edit in Notepad++ solved the problem.

As a penance for wasting your time and for my stupidity, a modest donation to your project is on its way. Incidentally, the clean GUI of Cumulus makes some other offerings look so amateur, well done,
