This happens when Cumulus hasn't been able to obtain any data from the console for one minute. Make sure you have debug logging turned on, and also turn on data logging, then zip up the latest diags file (normally cumulus.009) after it's been running for a few hours like that, and attach the zip file here.

Sorry, my reply is erroneous - I was thinking of Cumulus MX. If you turn debug logging on, this will cause a debug.log file to be created. I'll need that file and the Cumulus.009 file after it's been running for a few hours with debug logging turned on. The part about zipping up the file was not erroneous, however, could you please make sure you do that?

Is it always at 21 minutes past the hour when this happens, regardless of when you start Cumulus?

Once you've turned on debug logging, the debug.log file should appear in the folder where Cumulus is installed.

It's a side effect of the 'synchronise Fine Offset reads' operation. When the two avoidance cycles and the real time clock line up in a certain way, it isn't allowed to read data for over a minute, so the 'data appears to have stopped' is triggered.

Set ReportDataStoppedErrors=0 in the [Station] section of Cumulus.ini

The solar models do seem to be worse in that regard

Yes, that's how it works for configuration items which can only be set by editing Cumulus.ini - http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/Cumulus.in ... g_the_file
