Use the Fine Offset setting and don't run Easyweather at the same time. What type of Fine Offset station is it?

i need to run easy weather, as it is a watson weather staion, and easyweather is the software that comes with it. aslo, the instructions say that easyweather and cumulus should be run at the same time, may be yoiu have got confused as i have two post, both about cumulus, but different weather stations.

Since your post is in the Fine Offset section, we are all confused.

The Cumulus help says this about the 'station type' setting:

"Select the make and model of your weather station. The EasyWeather setting is an (obsolete) alternative for stations which use the EasyWeather software (Fine Offset, MyDEL, Nevada, WH1080 etc) and is used when running Cumulus at the same time as EasyWeather so Cumulus can 'piggy-back' off the EasyWeather data file. It is preferable to choose the 'Fine Offset etc' setting instead for these stations so that Cumulus can drive them directly - but you must not try to run Easyweather at the same time when you choose this option. Note that if you really must use the Easyweather setting, you will have to run both Easyweather and Cumulus 24/7 (all the time) as otherwise you will get gaps in your data and many of your statistics will be meaningless. It is strongly recommended that you do not use the 'Easyweather' setting."

So, as I said previously, use the Fine Offset setting and don't run Easyweather at the same time.
