No data downloaded when Cumulus starts

Hi,

I leave Cumulus running 24/7 99.9% of the time, however whenever I turn it off overnight for example, when I turn it on in the morning, no data is downloaded off my La Crosse WS2355 station.
It starts recording the moment I start Cumulus and works perfectly, but it does not download any 'old' data.
My station+Cumulus has been operational for nearly 6 years, and I turned Cumulus off overnight for the first time in 4-odd years recently and that's when I noticed the problem.
Is it possible my station is "full" and cannot store anymore data for Cumulus to download?

Cheers.

I have seen problems where stations stop writing logger data - sometimes this is because the archive interval in the console has become corrupted and set to zero or some other silly value. But if you zip up the diags folder and attach it to a reply in this thread, I may be able to see what's going on.

I have attached the diags folder for you to look at.

The clock on your console is wrong:

22/02/2016 06:55:40.522 : Archive info from station:
22/02/2016 06:55:40.522 : interval=60 countdown=6 numrecords=175
22/02/2016 06:55:40.522 : Date and time of latest archive entry:
22/02/2016 06:55:40.522 : hr=15 min=10 d=21 m=3 y=2001
22/02/2016 06:55:40.523 : Check station clock, date of last archive entry is quite old

It should have been flashing the error light to bring this to your attention?

If you have problems with the console clock, you can select the "Ignore Lacrosse station clock" setting, and Cumulus will then calculate the logger entry timestamps based on the PC clock.

It's really as simple as that? Thanks.
I hadn't updated the clock on the station because I was having some power & connection issues and found it annoying having to update it all the time. I never thought it actually did anything!

But thanks alot. That's an easy fix.

Cheers.
