#There is a bug in the Davis DLL (Dynamic-Link Library) that Cumulus 1.x.x uses, where it never downloads the last archive record; so if there is only one to download (compare how long Cumulus was stopped with logging interval on your Davis station), it doesn't get any at all. (See [[#Cumulus_takes_a_long_time_to_download_the_data_from_my_Davis_station_at_start_up|here]] for opposite problem). Cure this by ensuring if you stop Cumulus you either leave it stopped for less than Davis logging interval time, or don't restart until after at least 2 logging intervals. | |||
