Rainfall and max and mins

[Potterne Weather]

Hi all

I have noticed over the past couple of days, when i open cumulus and the dtat down loads from the station the rain fall data doesnt transfer and the max and min temps .
Is any one else experiencing problems like this or can advise whats happening to cause this.

Many thanks and merry christmas

If you zip up the diags folder and attach it, I'll take a look.

Can you be more specific about what data is missing - exactly what you see and what you expect to see instead?

It looks like the clock on your station is wrong. When Cumulus started up at 1054 today, it asked the station for all the data from when it last closed down, at 2300 last night. The station sent entries from

23/12/2012 09:44:01.679 : VP2: processing logger data entry 0 for 22/12/2012 23:30:00

to

23/12/2012 10:56:33.668 : VP2: processing logger data entry 48 for 24/12/2012 11:00:00

As you can imagine, getting data for the future causes problems with the daily figures. I suppose Cumulus ought to display an error.

It looks like your latitude is also incorrect:

23/12/2012 10:54:47.611 : Get Console Latitude, result = 0, latitude = -51.5
23/12/2012 10:54:48.473 : Get Console Longitude, result = 0, longitude = -2.0

Hi Steve

I have started the software in the normal way today, the current rain fall 4.2mm and the software is reading 2.6mm. Would you like me to send the diags file again?

Cheers

Would you like me to send the diags file again?

It's likely that there will be problem with rainfall because yesterday's figures were already wrong. Wait until tomorrow, and if there's still a problem, please zip up the diags folder and attach them here. Instructions are in the post linked to above - "please click here before posting". Sending attachments to me by email is not reliable as I have some quite severe anti-spam measures in place.

You can correct today's total with the built-in editor.
