Steve,

Now that I have C1 and C2 running alongside one another I compared the All Time Records on C2 with C1's to ensure they are identical. Here are the two screenshots.


Ignoring for now the need for an extra decimal place in rain records they match pretty well except for:

All Time High Wind Gust (wrong value and date)
All Time High Wind Speed (speed and date)
All Time High Hourly Rain (not on C2)
Highest Minimum Temperature (not on C2)
Lowest Maximum temperature (not on C2)

Do your All-Time recs on C2 match those on C1? I'm confident my C1 records are accurate so I don't know why C2 got some wrong.

I can't edit the database as all I see under Edit is sub-item 3, sub-item 4 and sub-item 5. That apart, everything is looking good and even on a Samsung NC10 Netbook the graphs open in less than 5 seconds.

On a slightly different tack can you advise (maybe on a separate thread) how to run Cumulus Viewer on a different PC to where C2 runs? Thanks.

Having imported the data it should then use the alltime.ini file to 'tweak' the appropriate database entries to match all-time records (as they are not necessarily captured in the Cumulus 1 data logs), but it looks like that part is now broken. Interestingly, I have started getting an error message when I open the project in Visual Studio, which I now realise is probably related. What does the end of your import log look like? Mine now looks like this:

Adjusting records from C:\Cumulus\data\alltime.ini

It should then go on and print the records in the import log as it adjusts them. It used to work fine, but I think that in some configuration changes I had to do to make the installers work I have broken it.

The other all-time records you mention come under the vast heading of "not yet implemented".


The editor is in the controller, not the viewer. Those are just dummies.


Install it, run it, wait for it to complain that it can't find the service, set the host name or IP address of the service in "Settings -> System...", close the viewer and then start it again.

Mine's attached. Looks similar.


No problem. Rome wasn't built in a day.


Got it.


Done all that but get "Unable to contact service". I'm entering 192.168.0.6 which is definitely the right IP of the host. Silly question time. In Cumulus Control - Settings - Station I'm entering 192.168.000.006 and leaving TCP Port at 0. VP Connection is TCPIP. The only COM port entry is COM5 but I assume this is ignored for TCPIP connections.

Do I need to change any sharing on the netbook hosting C2? I haven't explicitly given any permissions on the hosting PC to allow others to read C2 service. The original C2 folders are still shared.

That's for the connection between the service and the VP2, nothing to do with the viewer. You can only use a TCP/IP connection to the station if you have a Weatherlink IP, or Virtual VP, otherwise you have to use a serial port. To use the viewer remotely, you don't change anything at all to do with the service.


It doesn't use file sharing, but you do have to make sure that any firewall is configured to allow access on port 8765.

Bingo! That hadn't been done. It now works, thanks. You might want to include that bit in the instructions.
