Running two instances of Cumulus on the same machine at dif

Post by daqddyo1 »

Hi,
I would like to run one instance Cumulus 1.2.9 for my weather station at home and a second instance of Cumulus 1.2.9 instance when my station is at my summer residence.
I want to do this so that my data for home does not conflict with the data recorded at the other location.

Is this somehow possible or will there always be data conficts?

Thx,

daqddyo1

Hi,

Just install another copy of Cumulus in a different folder and rename the Desktop Shortcut(s) accordingly (the program itself is quite small). Presumably you mean version 1.9.2, but you might want to wait a few days (?) for version 1.9.3 to be released from Beta. :)

Cheers, Alan.

Thanks Alan,
This sounds easy enough. I will wait 'til 1.9.3. is released.

Thanks,

I intend to release the final beta with the last few enhancements this weekend, and then if no problems arise, to replace 1.9.2 with 1.9.3 the following weekend.
