Ron . Yes, there is data missing, probably due to the pC being off during the night.
In Cumulus, and under WU, catch up is checked. I would have thought the data would have caught up. Interval is at zero. What is interval ?

Is your internet connection available when you start Cumulus? If you zip up the diags folder and attach it, I'll take a look at what's happening.

The interval should be the same as the interval as your webupdate settings mine are set to 15 minutes ( maybe a higher or lower interval is possible if you set it lower you wil have more data to tranfer, Fine offset stations can't log below 48 seconds) I think you should set the interval to 15 minutes , just put 15 in the box by internet settings in the wunderground selection, perhaps Steve can give a clue what happens if there is nothing filled out in the interval settings.

Edit a WH1081 has no UV-sensor so you can untick this..

If 'rapid fire' is ticked, the interval setting isn't used, it uploads every 5 seconds. Using 'rapid fire' probably isn't a good idea if your internet connection has monthly transfer limits.

You should untick 'auto update' as that setting only applies to ftp to your own web site. Cumulus will be doing unnecessary checks as you're not uploading to your own web site.

Steve and Ron, you are stars, so too is Francisco.

Ive unchecked Auto update, & Rapid fire. Changed interval to 15 mins.

Now lets see what happens.

Cheers both

None of those settings will affect the 'catch up' data, though. I still need to see the diags files.

In the Cumulus installation folder. Zip up the entire diags folder and attach it here, please.

Hi John,

Just a minor notice here looking at your screenshot (and it do not have to do with the WU settings). You can also uncheck the "Enabled" checkmark in the APRS/CWOP settings, since right now you are not also uploading data to the CWOP (Civilian Weather Observer Program). :)

Thanks Francisco,Steve and Ron for your help. APRS/CWOP settings are also unchecked.

Things are now as I would hope.
Attached is a pic of my sensor station.
Ive deliberately lowered the rain catcher, in an attempt to be clear of any wind influence..


Thanks again
