Hello
Thank you for the quick response. My station is working OK: I am one of those dinosaurs who turns off his PC overnight and on again in the morning. This results in an overnight interruption to my data but data is stored in the data recorder and downloaded the following day. I also upload to Weather Underground and the UK Met Office WOW and both of these systems are able to 'catchup' thus resulting in a complete data record despite the overnight interruption. I don't think the AWEKAS system has the functionality at startup to download stored data - unless you know better.
I run Cumulus 1 (previously) Cumulus and have done so since September 2010 and it runs well with little problem although I am aware that this is dated software and has been superceded by Cumulus MX. I recently downloaded a patch which allows its continued use up to 2030. Whether I will upgrade to MX is something I need to consider but not at the moment. The data logger I'm using is the Davis logger compatible with my Vantage Vue.
My Station Panel does display correctly except for the air pressure dial and all I wanted to do was to replace the old dials with something a little more up to date. As I explained when I download, for example, a different temperature gauge all the existing gauges disappear from the Station Panel. I will take your advice and ask for the Station Panel to be reset.
