If you didn't restart Cumulus yourself at 0900, that's probably why it restarted. There were definitely problems up to that point, looking at the data that was being read. But it's impossible for me to say anything for certain without seeing the diags files.

It was just a guess as I have nothing else to go on. I'll need to see the diags files.

It looks like you restarted Cumulus at 0900? You didn't notice a problem at the time, and now you're 150 km away? If you're often 150 km away, it would be a good idea to set up remote access to the PC.

It was really the diags files that I needed, but as it happens I can see what the problem is from the data files:

05/08/12,09:30,10,4,95,9,6,5,0,8,6,115,0,0,0,0,1018,0,2,1,27,1,43,7,2,10,2,10,4,0,0,0,0,00,0,00,9,4,182,0,0,90

You have your Windows list separator and decimal separator both set to a comma, which makes it impossible for Cumulus to read back the data files and make sense of them.

Countries which use a comma for decimals normally use a semicolon for a list separator. You need to change your Windows settings.

The poll was hise again as in cumulus FAQ found the following example. For decimal point and comma separator list.
In any way next weekend I travel to where the station to fix this and configure remote desktop.
Thank you very much steve.

Example of the file

An extract of a few lines of the dayfile.txt

01/08/11,19.3,61,10:22,12.5,06:58,23.8,14:49,1014.26,20:46,1018.83,09:28,0.0,00:00,0.0

You can use decimal points with comma separators, you can use comma decimals with semicolon separators, you can use anything you want as long as you don't use the same for both.
