UV data from logger not plot in charts

Topics about the Beta trials up to Build 3043, the last build by Cumulus's founder Steve Loft. It was by this time way out of Beta but Steve wanted to keep it that way until he made a decision on his and Cumulus's future.

UV data from logger not plot in charts

Post by Werk_AG »

Test system:
Cumulus MX 3022
Windows 7

Hi Steve
I don't know if it's a bug, but I found this:
The UV data retrieved from the data logger is not plotted in the charts (solar data it's ok).
With Cumulus 1 the same data is correctly plotted in the UV chart.

What type of weather station? Do the values from the logger data appear in the data logs?

Hi Steve

The data is from a Davis emulated logger. The UV data appears in Cumulus1 data logs, but not in Cumulus MX data logs
Some example bellow:

As far as I can tell, MX is reading the UV data from the logger correctly. I don't suppose you would consider the proposition that the bug is in the emulation? ;)

MX uses the high UV value from the archive data so as not to lose the peak values. Does the emulation write the high UV value to byte 32 of the archive data? The diags file will show the data being read from the logger, if you're not sure.

Hi Steve

Of course that I can consider the proposition that the bug is in the emulation. In fact, the problem is in the emulation, because I not thought that Cumulus MX contrary to Cumulus 1, will read the UV data, from high UV value archive data (byte 32).
Thank you for the info about that, now I added the High UV value over the archive period, to byte 32.
Sorry for having bothered you.

When I wrote the MX code to read the UV data from the archive data, I didn't look at what I had done in Cumulus 1, and it seemed logical to me to use the logger interval high UV value rather than the average. Sorry to have caused you a problem.

And it is!

You have not caused me any problem, in fact, as always you helped me.
It was easy add the logger interval high UV value, and it's now working like a charm.

Sorry because I thought it might be a problem with Cumulus MX.
