It logs data at the interval you have configured, while it is running. If there is data to read from the station logger at start up, each logger entry is logged to the Cumulus log files, so those entries will be at the logger interval that you have configured in your station.

You may have closed it very soon after starting it up, when it had a lot of data to download from the station logger, and you use Weather Underground. Version 1.9.1 has a new facility where it 'catches up' with data that hasn't been uploaded to Weather Underground while it hasn't been running. This takes a little while, and if you close it while it is doing it, it will take a long time for all of the updates to time out. You need to give it sufficient time to finish the upload, but unfortunately there is no indication that the upload is taking place.


In the next version, there will be an indicator to show that the 'catch up' is taking place; the 'catch up' will be optional'; and it will abort much more quickly if you still close it while the catch up is taking place.
