Cumulus catch up 1 min not 5 min intervals?

Post by William Grimsley »

Hi Steve,

Why is it that, in my Internet Settings, the WU interval in Cumulus is set to 5 minutes, but when Cumulus catches up with WU it catches up in 1 minute intervals?

Presumably because that's what you have the logger in your station set to, so when it catches up after having been stopped for a while, the data is at 1-minute intervals. It uploads each logger entry to WU, rather than trying to fit the logger interval on to the WU interval and doing all the calculations that would require.

Hi Steve,

Oh, right! So, I can't change the Cumulus catch up interval, then?

Thanks for your help,

William

Only by changing your station's logger interval.

Ah. Maybe, I might have to route around the Vue console? :|
