Odd "time jumps" in monthlog.txt

Topics about the Beta trials up to Build 3043, the last build by Cumulus's founder Steve Loft. It was by this time way out of Beta but Steve wanted to keep it that way until he made a decision on his and Cumulus's future.

Odd "time jumps" in monthlog.txt

Post by slashmusic »

Hello Steve
I already asked this some weeks ago.
I have a WS2350 Weatherstation - Raspberry pi 2 and the most current version of CumulusMX running
When I do a tail -f on my Jun15log.txt while I restart CumulusMX with (sudo mono CumulusMX.exe -lang de-DE) I can see this (Blue and RED) in the june15log.txt

The last line, beforee I start CumulusMX
23.06.15;22:55;12,4;89;10,6;0;0;0;0,0;6,2;1015,4;1202,8;22,8;50;0;12,4;12,4;0,0;0;0,00;0,00;12,6;0;0,0;0;0,0;6,2

When cumulus has fimnnished starting, a new Line is being reported into this log which looks like this
23.06.15;23:49;12,4;89;10,6;0;0;0;0,0;6,2;1015,3;1202,8;22,8;50;0;12,4;12,4;0,0;0;0,00;0,00;12,6;0;0,0;0;0,0;6,2
23.06.15;23:00;12,4;89;10,6;0;0;0;0,0;6,2;1015,5;1202,8;22,8;50;0;12,4;12,4;0,0;0;0,00;0,00;12,6;0;0,0;0;0,0;6,2

Now I repeat the same thing again.
1. Stop CumulusMX with CTRL+c
2. Start CumulusMX with sudo mono CumulusMX.exe -lang de-DE
3. Echo date Command to check the time --> Di 23. Jun 23:03:39 CEST 2015

1st new line in the June Log is:
23.06.15;23:49;12,4;89;10,6;0;0;0;0,0;6,2;1015,3;1202,8;22,8;50;0;12,4;12,4;0,0;0;0,00;0,00;12,6;0;0,0;0;0,0;6,2
23.06.15;23:05;12,3;90;10,7;0;0;0;0,0;6,2;1015,5;1202,8;22,8;50;0;12,3;12,3;0,0;0;0,00;0,00;12,5;0;0,0;0;0,0;6,2
23.06.15;23:10;12,3;90;10,7;0;0;0;0,0;6,2;1015,5;1202,8;22,8;50;0;12,3;12,3;0,0;0;0,00;0,00;12,5;0;0,0;0;0,0;6,2

As you can see, the time always jumps forward to xx:49. Based on this fact, I have such fancy graphs like this example:
cumulus_jump.gif
Attached the MXdiags Log created at this time.
20150623-230338.txt
btw: also the today.ini is having this entry when restarted

[General]
Date=23.06.2015
Timestamp=23.06.2015 23:49:00
CurrentYear=2015
CurrentMonth=6
CurrentDay=23

Is this something caused by my Weatherstation because no one else reported these jumps so far?

It looks like the clock on your station is wrong:

2015-06-23 23:03:49.343 Downloading history data
2015-06-23 23:03:49.348 Reading history record 120
2015-06-23 23:03:49.727 History record read: 50 7A 56 7A 7C 89 21 00 00 04
Number of history entries = 1
Processing data for 23.06.2015 23:49:00
WS2300: History rain total = 1202,77
Windrun: 0km/h for 60 minutes = 0,0km
2015-06-23 23:03:50.500 Writing log entry for 23.06.2015 23:49:00

At 23:03, it had a logger entry for 23:49 already.

Hi Steve, yes, My clock is not correctly set to Summertime, so it is 1 hour ahead but regardless ,when I restart cumulus....it is alway jumping at xx:49 into the future.

I would understand this, when I exactly at 22:49 restart and it jumps to 23:49....but also when I restart at 22:30, it jumps to 22:49 ....alway to xx:49.

THis evening, I will switch my Weatherstation form timezone 1 to timezone 0 that it sets the time to the exact hour and repeat the test.
Thank so far, Jan

That's because your station's logger interval is 60 minutes, so it only logs at 49 minutes past the hour.

Steve, thank you, you are right....your answer, answered my question.
Yesterday, I adjusted my Weathertsation to work with my daylight saving time (Weatherstation Clock = Real time clock" and some minutes ago, I restarted CumulusMX.sh with this result
