==When I start Cumulus, the graphs restart again each time and don't show the earlier data==

You probably have an error in one or more data files. Look near the beginning of the latest file in the Diags folder for an error message which will tell you which file is in error and which line is causing the problem. It may simply be a blank line. Edit the file with Cumulus stopped. Note that you may need to repeat this process; only the first error is shown.

==My Davis station shows a higher maximum wind speed than Cumulus==
The Davis DLL which Cumulus uses to read data from the station can sometimes miss readings. You can try to minimise the effect of this by editing cumulus.ini (with Cumulus stopped) and add a line to the [Station] section, thus:
VP2SleepInterval=0
This sets the interval between reads to zero (the default is 500 ms).
