Thanks Charlie and AllyCat - will follow your advice and today I am going to set it up all over again on a spare computer that I might leave on all the time. The fact that it did work correctly for a while - before we had the power cut - gives me encouragement that it is indeed some sort of connection issue.
[Later] All done. Set up another computer and will leave it on 24/7 for a while. I suspect my issue is a connection problem because when I set it up in proper order, USB connection first then Cumulus, the output is correct. On the previous computer, I left the USB connected when I turned the computer off at night and I think this is what caused the problem even though I had already shut down Cumulus. Not sure why, but there it is. If I unplugged the unit then plugged it in again the readings are correct.
