Are you forgetting to click 'add the file' after you've browsed for it?

working Windows on a Mac can be a problem at times, and this seems one of them. I'll try again to attach.

Got the file OK, but the last entry is for the 15th March, so they're presumably the wrong files.

Then it's either an old diags.zip file that you created back in March, or, if you have just created the file, then you've zipped up the wrong diags folder - e.g. one from a previous older installation of Cumulus. Or you have some strange problem on your system where Cumulus has been unable to create any files since March. That would certainly cause odd rainfall data.

Hi again. I've checked the diags file again and I can see a file007 in there created today. I'll attach again and see what will happen. I'm not sure what has happened to the readings. All I can say is that up to approx. a week ago everything worked fine with no problems at all.

That file confirms that yesterday at 15:10 was the first time you had run that installation of Cumulus since 15th March:

20/07/2012 15:10:15.187 : Read today file: Date = 15/03/2012, LastUpdateTime = 15/03/2012 15:00:00

But anyway, the new diags file does show that you have some kind of problem with the station, or with its connection to the PC:
