Please read the '''readme''' file in the zip.
Basically, this converter utility reads '''.wlk''' files, it creates a folder called '''converted''' into which it places [[Standard log files]] and [[dayfile.txt]] files as used by Cumulus software. You need to be able to manually merge (using a text file editor) the newly created files with any files of same name in your Cumulus [[data folder|'''data''' folder]]. You might also want to read (although not directly related to this converter utility) [[Amending_dayfile#Importing_data_not_recorded_by_Cumulus|Importing_data_not_recorded_by_Cumulus]].
