*Cumulus MX includes the ability to generate SQL to update a database table version of the log. Using that database table avoids any clash with the Cumulus MX update of the daily summary log.
== Viewing or Editing the daily summary log within Cumulus ==
'''This section applies to Cumulus 1.x.y only - Cumulus MX v3.0.0 (checked at build 3043) does not provide an editor'''
The last command in '''Edit''' [[Cumulus_Screenshots#File.2FEdit.2FHelp_Menu |menu]] is ''dayfile.txt''. ''This is how you view'' the dayfile.txt from within Cumulus. This is a text editor, so you can type new values over those currently displayed, insert and delete rows, and it works best when at full screen.
Click the ''Help'' button for detailed instructions. Cumulus Help is comprehensive.
'''Note for obsolete version 1.9.3 only:''' Create missing might in some cases be affected by a bug in 1.9.3 that can cause incorrect date order for records (dayfile.txt uses dd/mm/yy or dd-mm-yy and all records should be in ascending chronological order)
There are no known bugs in version 1.9.4
=== Dealing with rogue measurements ===
Cumulus provides via '''Configuration''' menu ''Calibration'' screen the ability to screen out spikes (magnitude of differences between one value read and next value read) in data picked up from your weather station. See Cumulus help screen if you decide to use that to cope with some spikes.
