Cumulus maintains a daily log file that holds the highs and lows of each day, as well as a few other nuggets of information.  The figures contained in the file are used for the 'This period' display accessed from the '''View''' menu and to build any graphs based on daily values.


== Viewing the daily log ==
To view the daily log use the ''dayfile.txt'' command in '''Edit''' menu.  This is how you view the dayfile.txt from within Cumulus.  If you upload the file to your web site, then see [[AnnualDataSummary]] for information about ways to show values for a particular weather criterion in a calendar like display.
'''Note:''' there is no option in the '''View''' menu. (The ''data log'' option in that menu is for viewing the [[Monthly_log_files]] only).

Cumulus provides via '''Configuration''' menu ''Calibration'' screen the ability to screen out spikes in data picked up from your weather station. See Cumulus help screen if you decide to use that to cope with some spikes. But some rogue values may be within the accepted all-time range, but just not really applicable to that particular day.
