Rain data - Last 24 hours and midnight

Post by patoweather »

Hi Steve:
I followed his precise instructions but nonetheless they managed to fix my wrong data.
Rain year, month and today are ok but last 24 hours seem with a lot of mm.
I tried fix editing the monthlog.txt (sep12log.txt) but nothing.
You can see my website http://eltiempo.telpin.com.ar/cumulus/index.htm
Send you diags and txts.
Thanks for your time.
Patricio

Version Cumulus 1.9.2
Davis Vantage Pro.

Other curiosity...en my editor dayfile.txt the data columns not seem appropriate like times and others.
Appear inconsistent.

Thanks again.

You are using commas for both decimals and list separators, so Cumulus is unable to make sense of the data in the logs. You will need to change your Windows settings. Countries which use commas for decimals normally use semicolons for list separators. Once you've corrected your Windows settings, you can either attempt to edit your data or just delete it all and start again, which is probably easier as you only have a couple of days of data anyway.
