Cumulus Support

I downloaded this today and everything was working fine. I took a nap and when I got up the PC was in sleep mode. I turned it on, turned off sleep mode but now Cumulus is froze. I can't min, max or X out. I can close by right clicking on the status bar. The red light next to error is flashing but can't click on it. At the bottom it says "Error: no response. I tried restarting the program and same issue. Reboot PC and same issue. What am I missing? Does this update in the background perhaps behind catching up due to the sleep mode?

Thanks for any help. I could not find this same issue under other topics.

Cumulus won't work properly if you allow the PC to sleep, as mentioned in the readme.txt and the FAQ. What normally happens if you do allow your PC to sleep is that you can restart Cumulus, and it will carry on, but you have a gap in your data. In your case, your station has stopped responding, so you will need to reset it by removing the batteries and the USB cable. Note that there is a known issue with Fine Offset stations where the USB interface locks up from time to time. If you find this happening frequently, you can try the "Synchronise Fine Offset reads" setting in the station configuration settings in Cumulus.

Got it working ok now. Thanks!
