I shut down my desktop/Cumulus every night before midnight due to power surge/ lightning in my area. The next morning, I start Cumulus and it only reports the past night WX station data in 2 hours intervals instead of the usual 5 or 1 Min interval. For example, from the moment I shut down cumulus until it is started again the data in between these times is shown in 2 hour intervals. Any help keeping the 5 or 1 min interval? Debug attached if needed.


I read the Readme file.
"If you close Cumulus down each night, you should avoid closing it
down just before midnight (if you use a midnight end of day),
i.e. when the station will not make any more logger entries before
midnight. This is likely to cause problems when Cumulus starts up
again in the morning, as it will have no 'new' data to read before
it has to do the rollover."

I read the FAQ,
"Q.My graphs appear to be plotted less frequently just after Cumulus starts up

A.When running live, Cumulus plots data at 1-minute intervals. When it starts up, it pre-fills the graphs with data from the log files, which generally (depending on how you have Cumulus and your station configured) will be at less frequent intervals."

Station: Ambient WS-2090, USB, logger 5 min interval
Desktop: Win 7 Pro
Cumulus: 1.9.3 using fine offset, logs rollover at Midnight, Data Log 1 min setting, Use 10am in summer rollover enabled.

You've selected a station type in Cumulus with UV and Light sensors, but your station appears not to have those. This means that Cumulus will not be able to make sense of the data downloaded from the station's logger, as it expects the entries to be 20 bytes long rather than 16 bytes long. You need to change your station type to "Fine Offset (WH1080 etc)".

TU very much :D Donation sent.

Hope this helps other new WS-2090 owners. If anyone here is a member of the 2090 wiki, could you update the "software" section to read choose "Fine Offset (WH1080 etc)" Thanks.
