Where is my Dew Point?

Enable "Data logging"
Let it run for a few minutes, then switch it off again.
Send me the latest log file in the "MXdiags" folder.
Cheers

Did you ever get the requested log files? I just set up Cumulus for the first time with my GW1000 and can confirm that no dew point is being logged by default, at least with version 3.8.0 b3090. Happy to gather logs if needed to debug.
mcrossley:
No I didn't, but I'm thinking the GW1000 does not provide a dew point value, so you need to select the option for Cumulus to calculate it under station settings.
If you could send me some logs. That would be good.
galfert:
I can confirm that the GW1000 does not send Dew Point. You have to check off the option as Mark says to have Cumulus MX calculate it for you.
For revision feedback:
I don't know if it is possible, but it would be nice if GW1000 is selected as station type than then the option to calculate Dew Point was then selected for the user. If this is not possible then I would be helpful in the GW1000 station type selection a note about reminding the user to enable Dew Point calculation would be nice.

Thanks, PM sent. Hopefully it's the correct log.

I agree, just a note in the settings page would help. This was the only (very minor) hiccup in the setup process for the GW1000, otherwise everything else was pretty easy, even for a Cumulus newbie like myself.

I'll take another look at the logs posted, but yes I can make it so the option for MX to calculate DP is automatic for these stations.
