Press Enter to terminate

Can anyone point mee at my problem.
I have a zip file of MX diags available

[HansR]

Please post the diags as asked, any info of what is wrong must be in the log.

[tokoroa.info]

MX diags zip
I have a problem attaching the zip despite being less than 15MiB

Have attached last service console and log

Added dayfile

[HansR]

OK, thanks. Last log and console should be enough for the moment.
Having seen the contents I think Mark must look at it to see where it goes wrong in the code.

[mcrossley]

Can you post your dayfile as well please.

[tokoroa.info]

Added dayfile above

Is your Growing Degree Days start month set to "7"?

[tokoroa.info]

Growing degree days data is all at default including 7 for southern hemisphere

[tokoroa.info]

I have noticed in today.ini the following first entry
"[General]
Date=4/03/2024
Timestamp=2024-03-04T15:00:00
CurrentYear=2024
CurrentMonth=2
CurrentDay=29"

Also noted in the 20240306-084314.txt that things appear to go wrong with the graphs generation

I've seen more posts like this.
In 2000 there was the millennium-bug. Is this the leap-year-bug?

[mcrossley]

Well the growing degree day graph data does actually use a leap year internally, but it uses the same year every year!

[mcrossley]

Whilst I investigate this, could you try disabling the Growing Degree Day graphs for me please?

Edit your Cumulus.ini file, and find the section [Graphs], then make to following edit...

Code: Select all

[Graphs]
...
GrowingDegreeDaysVisible1=0
GrowingDegreeDaysVisible2=0

[mcrossley]

Sorry, you will also need to edit the following entries...

Code: Select all

[FTP site]
...
Create-alldailydegdaydata=0
Ftp-alldailydegdaydata=0
Copy-alldailydegdaydata=0

[mcrossley]

You will need to do the same for the temperature sum graphs if you have enabled them.

I have found the problem, it affects southern hemisphere stations that do not have any data for January in the year they started. I've fixed this for the next release.
