Running two types of stations

wsenseney · **Posted:** Tue Apr 17, 2012 6:29 pm

I have a second station that I want to setup on another part of my property. I have been running a Zephyr 1000TD without any problems for years, however I thought it would be neat to have two reporting stations, so I have a Oregon Scientific WMR100.
Is it possible to run both stations on one Cumulus download, or do I just need to set the other one up on another computer.

Thanks',

Wayne

You can only run one station with one instance of Cumulus, but you could run two instances and run them both on the same PC in this case.

OK, thanks'. I just was not sure if I could download Cumulus twice on my computer and it not affect the version running.

OK.....I tried, but Cumulus will not let me download another copy on the same computer. I am sure there is a way around this, but I cannot get it figured out.

By "download" I assume you mean "install"? What error do you get when you try to install it the second time? I have three copies installed here.

It denied the request without overiding the one I had "Installed".

I'm sorry, but you're going to have to give me more than "it denied the request". I have no idea what that means. I need an explicit error message, or a screenshot, or something specific. How far through the install do you get?

Well, Steve, that was fairly well it. I stopped at that point because I did not want to override the version that I have installed. No big deal, I have a computer expert in my family that will be here this weekend, and I will fill him in and let him figure it out. He set up my website, so he can surly do this.

Perhaps what you're missing is that when the installer asks you where to install Cumulus:

Setup - Cumulus_2012-04-17_23-12-18.png

you simply specify a different location to the location where you already have Cumulus installed, and then your existing installation is untouched. I can't think why that wouldn't work for you when it works for me.
