→I’ve just installed Cumulus, and it didn’t download all the old data from my weather station

If you do this, you will probably need to edit your log files in the '''data''' folder as you may have duplicate entries and/or entries out of order. Your rain totals will almost certainly also be wrong - the total for "today" in particular. See the [[FAQ#My_station_invented_some_rain_that_didn.27t_really_occur.2C_and_I_want_to_set_it_to_zero_.28or_some_other_figure.29 |FAQ]] entry about correcting rainfall data. If you have only just started using Cumulus, you could delete all of the files in the data folder, and just create a simple today.ini as below. Then when you start Cumulus, processing will start again with just the data from the station's logger. | If you do this, you will probably need to edit your log files in the '''data''' folder as you may have duplicate entries and/or entries out of order.

Note that this method does not work for the Oregon WMR200 station. This station deletes logger entries when they are downloaded, and there is no mechanism for retrieving logger entries for a particular period - it just sends all the entries that it has. You may be able to circumvent this by creating a today.ini file in the data folder before you run Cumulus 1, with just this in it: | Note that this method does not work for the Oregon WMR200 station.

Note that Cumulus MX stores some time-stamps '''in ISO format''' (yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss) within '[[today.ini]]', the format example above only works for Cumulus 1, see the article on the log file itself for specifics. | Note that Cumulus MX stores some time-stamps '''in ISO format''' (yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss) within '[[today.ini]]', the format example above only works for {{Version badge 1}}Cumulus 1, see the article on the log file itself for specifics. | ||
Change the dates and time to match the point from which you want Cumulus to start downloading data. If the station has already sent the data, this may not work, unfortunately. | Change the dates and time to match the point from which you want Cumulus to start downloading data.
