off-line data

Post by Jmilesy »

Sorry, i may have missed this.

Am I right, if the pc restarts etc when cumulus MX is restarted it does not download missing data from the weather station?

graphs just show straight lines for the time that the station was 'off-line'

have a missed a setting to download missing data from the station?
Many thanks

If you have the logger being used it should download all missing data although only on the logger interval not the same interval when directly connected.

If you are missing data stop CumulusMX, copy the previous day's data from the Backup directory over the current data and then restart CumulusMX and it should download all data logged from the date you rolled back to.

From the Wiki:
The main configuration file is Cumulus.ini and located in the directory in which you installed Cumulus.exe. If you rename the executable file to say Cumulus1.exe, then the configuration file takes that name i.e. Cumulus1.ini. For Cumulus MX, both file-names must start with a capital letter, and all the characters used within the configuration file must be within ASCII range.

UseDataLogger=1

Cumulus 1.x.y: Selected in the Station Configuration Screen Settings block.

Cumulus MX: This parameter (attribute=value) is added directly to the file in the [station] section, it does not appear on the settings screen.

0 = Disabled, at start-up, Cumulus will not download data from the station's data logger (if it has one) but just start with next observations.
1 = Enabled (Default), at start-up Cumulus will download data from the station's data logger (if it has one) to catch up from the point where Cumulus was last shut down. See last parameter for advice re station logging interval.

Are you stopping Cumulus properly each time and not allowing your PC to sleep while Cumulus is running? If so, then assuming you haven’t changed the setting mentioned above, when Cumulus starts up it will attempt to download the data from the point when you last closed it.
