Some doubts.

Post by ajcm »

Hello again at all:

1º) I decided to change the "RainDayThreshold =- 1" instead of the wet day wear as less than 0.2 mm, 1 mm is turned away, so I have removed the sign (-) and I left 1, "RainDayThreshold = 1" correct way?

2º) Why is the website of "cumulus realtime" only loads the data using "www" http://www.acanmet.com/GC100/CumulusRealtime.html, and does not work using http://acanmet.com/GC100/CumulusRealtime.html .

3º) In the file "CumulusRealtime.xml" appears this line:
"<interval> 5 </ interval>" and I guess the "5" are seconds, I would like to know if I can change that value by "1" or "2" seconds?

4º) Can not add new entries to the editor Dayfile.txt?, Is that it would be easier to get older data.

Thanks.

What value do you want to set it to? RainDayThreshold = 1 sets it to 1 mm.
2º) Why is the website of "cumulus realtime" only loads the data using "www" http://www.acanmet.com/GC100/CumulusRealtime.html, and does not work using http://acanmet.com/GC100/CumulusRealtime.html .
See https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=1495
3º) In the file "CumulusRealtime.xml" appears this line:
"<interval> 5 </ interval>" and I guess the "5" are seconds, I would like to know if I can change that value by "1" or "2" seconds?
Yes.
4º) Can not add new entries to the editor Dayfile.txt?,
The help says "The insert key inserts a row before the current row." So, click on a data cell to make that row current, and press the insert key.

I do not understand the editor.

I copied the file dayfile.txt in another pc with cumulus (cumulus not connected to a station) and opened the dayfile.txt editor. I have 2 dates.

11/01/11 .....................
28/01/11 .....................

I want to create the date 12/01/11, so I select the date 28/01/11 and change this by 12/01/11 and then click on the button "create missing" and it is changing the date for the new (12/01/11) but erases the old (28/01/11).

What am I doing wrong?

Do you want to enter the data for 12/01/11 manually? "Create Missing" goes through the monthly log files, and automatically creates dayfile.txt entries for all of the days that it finds in the monthly log files which don't already exist in dayfile.txt. It is not for when you want to enter data yourself.

If you want to enter the data for 12/01/11 manually, click on 28/01/11, press your 'insert' key, and then type in the new line for 12/01/11 in the blank line which has been created.

You shouldn't need to open dayfile.txt with Cumulus closed; you can insert the lines you want using the editor in Cumulus. Insert the blank line using the insert key, then type the date in the first cell, the highest wind gust in the next cell, and so on...

'Insert' isn't a button; it's a key on your keyboard.

Hello:

Mr. Steve, after having been passed all the daily data this year from VWS to cumulus daily file, I wondered if there was if I could add the solar radiation max. and UV. max.

Thank you.

Cumulus doesn't currently record those. Possibly in the future.

Hello:

I like know if the new webtag "New web tag - <#MoonAge> - Current APPROXIMATE 'age' of the moon in days (0-29)" appears in the default web templates of cumulus because I looked in "indexT.htm" and I´hadn´t seen.

Thanks.

It's just a new web tag. The supplied pages don't use all of the web tags.
