Line 496: Line 496:
For Fine Offset stations, when Cumulus starts up, it checks the first two bytes of the station's memory. They are supposed to contain the values Hex 55 and Hex AA to indicate that the station has initialised itself correctly. If they do not, then presumably the station has had some kind of internal problem, so Cumulus doesn't try to read any data from it. A reset of the station normally fixes this - remove the batteries and the USB cable; but note that you will almost certainly lose any stored data in the logger.

If you want to force Cumulus to ignore this check (not recommended), edit cumulus.ini and add a line to the [Station] section:

You will most likely not have any success with this, as your station memory is probably corrupted anyway.
