|One message I spotted in your log was that fousb switched from 1080 to
3080 data format. What FineOffset are you actually running, and what model
have you specified in weewx.conf?? Since fousb appears to have switched
automatically it should not be an issue - but could be stopped creating a
log entry if you specified the correct data_format option in weewx.conf.
See user guide for more info.
