Plotting/Graphs issue

[Spider-Vice]

So I've upgraded to the latest beta of Cumulus today and it looks like my wind plots have completely gone mad. Even though Cumulus logs all the data properly, sometimes the graphs will have spikes from 0 to 20 km/h and then starting to spike from then only in those values, even if it's 30 km/h. I can't explain this properly but once I restarted Cumulus again, the wind plots just froze at 20 km/h. The values are changing every minute but the graphs don't reflect that.
Once I restart Cumulus that fixes itself but new data will be bugged on the live graphs aswell. Beta bug?
Edit:


it's still doing it.


Edit 2: I think it has to do with the round wind speeds thing you've fixed. But I didn't enable that option! Though the wind is 20 km/h now and it's plotting 40. This is a little bit weird.

I'm having the same problem. Several times today since upgrading to 1045, my wind graph looked like this:

Then I shut down Cumulus and re-start, which seems to temporarily fix the odd spikes:

But after a little whille, the odd spikes return.

One other thing: the gusts shown in the graph don't accurately reflect my actual gusts. I've had several gusts today in the teens, as high as 17 mph, but the graphs (both the odd one and the more correct-looking one) don't show anything over 10 mph.

Edit: I can see the odd spikes returning again, just a few minutes after I posted the above message.

Exactly. For the time being I downgraded to the previous build, even though it's not recommended, I didn't want my graphs to look like that. Funny thing, if you enable Round Wind Speeds, it fixes itself apparently.

Does rounding wind speed fix both the odd spikes and the inaccurate data being graphed? I might do that until Steve fixes this build.

I tried it for a couple minutes only, it seemed to, but you can test for yourself, shouldn't hurt anything, especially for you, having a Davis which doesn't plot decimal wind speeds.

I'm going to leave mine unchecked for now until Steve responds, since rounding wouldn't address the other problem I see: my graphs show no gust higher than 8 mph since 7:00AM local time. I checked my Wunderground data and I had many gusts that far exceeded this value all day, going as high as 16 mph.

Hmm, mine did the same thing and the rounding seemed to have fixed it. I knew it was just a graphs problem because both the Cumulus data and WU were correct.

I checked the rounding box, hit "OK", shut down Cumulus, then re-started which forced a graphs re-draw. It still didn't show any gust higher than 8 mph, so I assumed the problem was elsewhere.

It looks like a bug in the Delphi runtime. I'll code around it and upload a fix shortly.

Steve,

Thanks for fixing the Wind Graph display in Build 1046.
Had the same problem since previous download, all looks OK now.

Cheers,

Arthur

Yup, it's now fixed, thanks.

I'm not convinced things are totally fixed. My graphs are still not displaying the correct gusts. According to graph, I haven't had a gust over 6 mph today:

But according to Wunderground (and Cumulus data), I've had several gusts of 11 mph today already.

If you haven't got 'round wind speeds' set, the wind speed graph code is back to exactly the same as it's been for a very long time.

The 'gust' figure sent to WU is the 'recent max gust'. Your graph is plotting 'latest', which is not the same (it's not actually a 'gust' figure; Davis stations don't provide one) and can vary considerably between one reading and the next, three seconds later. In other words, what you're seeing is almost certainly this: http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/FAQ#The_pe ... eme_values

Thanks, Steve.

Weirdly enough, it's not fixed in the thumbnail graph But that's a minority, it's not like you have time to fix every single thing
